Exodus 20:1\u201317,<\/b> An Overview of the Ten Words (Commandments)<\/b><\/p>\n

The Ten Words or Ten Commandments by which they are more commonly known are but the mighty cornerstone of the 613 commandments of the Torah.<\/p>\n

\"Torah<\/a><\/p>\n

The Jewish sages teach that all 613 are implied in the Ten; or that the Ten can be expanded into 613. The Tanakh (Old Testament)\u00a0and Jewish writings contain a number of phrases that express the quintessential essence of the Torah. One of these best-known passages naming several of these phrases is in the Jewish Talmud: \u201c[R.] Simlai said, \u2018613 commandments were given to Moses\u2014365 negative mitzvot<\/i> (commandments), the same as the number of days in the year, and 248 positive mitzvot<\/i>, the same as the number of parts in a man\u2019s body. David came and reduced them to eleven (Ps 15), Isaiah to six (Isa 33:15), Micah to three (Mic\u202f6:8), Isaiah again to two\u2014\u201cObserve and do righteousness\u201d (Isa 56:1). Then Amos came and reduced them to one, \u201cSeek me and you shall live\u201d (Amos 5:4)\u2014as did Habakkuk, \u201cThe righteous one will attain life by his trusting [or by faith] faithfulness (Hab 2:4)\u201d\u2019 (Makkot <\/i>23b\u201324a, abridged, from the Jewish New Testament Commentary<\/i>, by David Stern,<\/i> p. 565).<\/p>\n

We see some of these same Torah summation-type statements in the Testimony of Yeshua. For example, the phrase, \u201cthe just shall live by faith\u201d is found in three passages of the Testimony of Yeshua (Rom 1:17; Gal 3:11; Heb 10:38); In Leviticus 19:18, we find the phrase, \u201cyou shall love your neighbor as yourself,\u201d which is the summation of the last five of the famous Ten Commandments. This in itself is a summation of all of the 613 Torah commandments that relate to human relationships, which we see in Yeshua\u2019s famous \u201cGolden Rule\u201d passage of Matthew 7:12, \u201cTherefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets.\u201d Paul echoes this concept in Romans 13:8, \u201cLove does not do harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fullness of the Torah.\u201d Love is the foundation and quintessential concept behind the Torah-law of Elohim. Yeshua states this in Mark 12:29\u201331,<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Yeshua answered him, \u2018The first of all the [Torah] commandments is, Hear, O Israel; YHVH our Elohim is one Master: And you shall love YHVH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Love must be the motive behind all our righteous deeds or else our actions count for nothing (1 Cor\u202f13:1\u201313). The concept of love and the keeping of YHVH\u2019s Torah-law are codependent actions. One cannot exist without the other. John, in his epistle, discusses this idea at length in 1 John 2:7\u201311; 3:11\u201324; 4:7\u201321 where he states that \u201cElohim is love\u201d (John 4:8, 16), and that one\u2019s love of Elohim and man is linked to obedience to the Torah commandments (John 2:3\u201311; 3:11\u201318). As YHVH first loved us, we should love our fellow man (John 4:7\u201311), in word, deed and in (Torah) truth (John 3:18). This relates to Yeshua\u2019s admonition to his disciples in John 14:15, \u201cIf you love me, keep my Torah-commandments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lest one recoil at the thought of having to keep 613 commandments of the Torah please be advised of the fact that there are approximately 1050 commandments in the Testimony of Yeshua!<\/p>\n

The 18 Benefits of Studying and Obeying YHVH\u2019s Torah<\/b><\/p>\n

The Scriptures reveal that the Torah is much more than a list of dos and don\u2019ts as many people have been led to believe, and is therefore, in their mind, a negative thing.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 4:6 says that the Torah is our wisdom and understanding before the nations of the world.<\/p>\n

In Deuteronomy 11:8, we learn that the Torah makes us strong. The word strong <\/i>in Hebrew is chazaq<\/i> meaning \u201cto be strong, grow strong, to prevail, to be firm, be caught fast, be secure, to grow stout, grow rigid, to restore to strength, give strength, sustain, encourage, make bold, encourage, to repair or to withstand.\u201d This sounds like a good thing!<\/p>\n

Here is a list of the other benefits of studying and obeying YHVH\u2019s Torah:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Torah defines what sin (1 John 3:4) and righteousness are (Ps 119:172).<\/li>\n
  2. The Torah shows us what YHVH expects from man (Deut 10:12\u201313).<\/li>\n
  3. The Torah convicts man of sin or lawlessness and brings us to Yeshua by way of the cross (Gal 3:24).<\/li>\n
  4. The Torah brings temporal and spiritual rewards; life and blessing when followed; curses when disobeyed (Deut 28; Matt 5:19).<\/li>\n
  5. Obeying the Torah helps deepen a loving and intimate relationship with YHVH-Yeshua and helps us to abide in Yeshua (John 14:15; 1 John 2:3\u20136).<\/li>\n
  6. Obeying the Torah helps us to stay spiritually pure (1 John 3:3\u20136).<\/li>\n
  7. Obeying the Torah protects us from the influence of the devil (1 John 3:8).<\/li>\n
  8. The Torah provides a framework or basis for YHVH\u2019s divine justice or judgment (Deut 17:11; John 12:48; Heb 4:12 cp. Rev 1:16; 2:16; 18:15, 21).<\/li>\n
  9. The Torah forms the basis for the jurisprudence system of civil government (Deut 17:11).<\/li>\n
  10. The Torah is heaven\u2019s revelation of divine grace. It reveals how sinful man can be reconciled to a righteous Elohim; it reveals the path of redemption or salvation from slavery to sin through the idea of substitutionary sacrifice. This all points to Yeshua the Messiah, the Redeemer or Savior of the world.<\/li>\n
  11. The Torah reveals the concept of covenant between YHVH and man involving YHVH\u2019s chosen people\u2014the nation of Israel. Only through covenantal relationship with the Elohim of Israel and by being grafted into the Israel of Elohim can one have eternal life (Eph 2:11\u201319).<\/li>\n
  12. The Torah will guide and keep us on the path of righteousness and lead us into YHVH\u2019s everlasting kingdom and spiritual divine family. It acts as a protective guardrail to keep us on the road leading to eternal life. It keeps man from falling into the spiritual ditches or off the spiritual cliff along the side of the road of life.<\/li>\n
  13. The Torah is our light in a dark world; the answer to life\u2019s questions and dilemmas (Ps 119:99, 105; Prov 6:23).<\/li>\n
  14. Through Yeshua the Living Torah, the Torah helps us to become the person that YHVH wants to live with forever. It prepares us to be the spiritual bride of Yeshua (Rev 19:7\u20138).<\/li>\n
  15. Obeying the Torah brings us eternal rewards (not eternal life, which is by grace through faith alone, see Eph. 2:8) in the world to come (Matt 5:19).<\/li>\n
  16. Obeying the Torah helps deepen a loving and intimate relationship with YHVH-Yeshua and helps us to abide in Yeshua (John 14:15; 1 John 2:3\u20136).<\/li>\n
  17. Obeying the Torah-Word of YHVH helps to perfect YHVH-Yeshua\u2019s love in us (1 John 3:6).<\/li>\n
  18. The Torah shows us how to love Elohim and our neighbor (Mark 12:29\u201331).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
