SPEAKER 8

What does the speaker say

God's Word records the record of God speaking. 

God's Word is recorded in the 66 books of the scripture. 

We have the written speech of God. 

As God's people we read God's word and begin to understand more and more of God's grace and mercy towards us. 

The essence of God’s message is summarized in the Ten Commandments.

Exodus 20:3-17

You shall have no other gods before me.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

“You shall not murder.

“You shall not commit adultery.

“You shall not steal.

“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”

God wants us to worship Him and Him only. 

Worship in spirit

John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

God wants us to rest in Him. Come to me you who are burdened

Matthew 11:28-30

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

As you daily read the words or speech of God you will understand more and more of the speaking of God. 

Daily reading of God's word reminds us of the work of God within us. As we read the spirit of God works in our heart and mind to bring the truth of God speaking.

Let us heed what the first speaker says about who He is and what He does.
