Lesson 7: We Must Give Our Best To God Master index of 23 studies: "Determine if you worship in Spirit and Truth!" Lesson 7 We Must Give Our Best To God As we worship God, we give Him ourselves. Romans 12:1 says, "I beseech you therefore, brethern, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service." Under the Old Testament some of the Jews were not offering their best and were condemned for it. In Malachi 1:8 we read, "And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil?" Is it not just as evil today when we do not give God our best? Under the New Testament we do not offer animal sacrifices as the Jews did under the Old Testament; but we give Him our lives in service to Him as a living sacrifice.

The 10 commandments and the Sabbath were only for Jews to keep ... Actual Sabbatarian argument: "The 10 commandments are for all mankind and are God's universal eternal law!" Answer: A. If the Sabbath law was a moral law intended for all mankind, then: Why did God NEVER charge the Gentiles with breaking it. Interesting that God charges the Gentiles many times for breaking all the 9 moral commandments on the tablets of stone, but NEVER ONCE says anything about breaking the Sabbath! This proves it is not inherently moral but just another ceremonial law given ONLY TO THE Jews! B. The very words of the ten commandments clearly tells us that the commandments were for the Jewish people ONLY! God never brought me or my ancestors out of Egypt! Ex 20:2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." The Lord has not given me the promised land of Canaan!

Lesson 19: Singing In Worship (Part 4) When people can find no authority for the use of the mechanical instrument of music in the New Testament, they try to go to the Old Testament for their justification. But we are no longer under the Old Testament. The Old Testament is still of great benefit for us today, because without it the New Testament would be difficult to understand.

But we do not go to the Old Testament for instructions of how to be justified and to worship God. If we did we would be worshipping in the temple in Jerusalem, burning daily animal sacrifices, and the many other requirements of the Old Law. Our Lord has made the Old Testament obsolete.
