Kingdom Commandments
(Matthew 518)

• (Matthew 517-18) I tell you the truth, until
  heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest
  letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by
  any means disappear from the Law until everything
  is accomplished.

The concerns of the King are that those who love
Him
Keep your promises before God and others
Do not hurt each other by lust and adultery
Do not take your marriage vows lightly
Do not harbour unforgiveness against each other
Do not sin against your own body
make the things of the Kingdom practice rather
than theory
Do not abuse each other with your anger
Do not return evil for evil
Love as God loves.
Do not kill each other

  least of these Commandments

(Matthew 517-20) For I tell you that unless
your righteousness surpasses that of the
Pharisees and the teachers of the Law, you will
certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

righteousness
Picking and choosing our obedience demeans
the commands of the Kingdom
