'''God’s commandments''' encompass the commands, laws, regulations, covenants, and feasts given by [[God]] for the salvation of mankind. They provide a path for humanity, which has fallen into sin and death and grown distant from God, to return to Him. Those commandments fulfill God’s providence of redemption and reflect His boundless love for humanity. By keeping God’s commandments, humans can be purified, liberated from the prison of the [[soul]], that is, this [[City of Refuge|earth]], and ultimately return to their [[Kingdom of Heaven|eternal heavenly home]]. God’s people, who will be saved, cherish and diligently observe His commandments.

The term ''commandment'' literally means “an order to obey.” God’s commandments, simply put, refer to all the orders God has given to His people.

==Importance of God’s Commandment==

===Leading to Heaven===

To enter the [[Kingdom of Heaven|kingdom of heaven]], one must keep God’s commandments. One of [[Parables by Jesus|Jesus’ parables]] includes the story of the rich man and Lazarus.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+16%3A19-20&version=NIV |title=Luke 16:19–20 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> Lazarus died and went to heaven, while the rich man went to [[hell]]. The rich man, suffering in the flames, pleaded with Father [[Abraham]] (representing [[God the Father]]) to send Lazarus to his family so that they would not come to such a place. God replied, “They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+16%3A29&version=NIV |title=Luke 16:29 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>

Moses was the one who was called to deliver God’s commands to the Israelites,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+19%3A3&version=NIV |title=Exodus 19:3 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> and the prophets were also those who carried out the mission of preaching God’s laws.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Kings+17%3A13&version=NIV |title=2 Kings 17:13 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> Therefore, what they must hear is God’s commandments and laws. In the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, God emphasized God’s commandments, saying, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+16%3A31&version=NIV |title=Luke 16:31 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> This suggests that keeping God’s commandments is necessary to avoid hell and enter heaven. Similarly, even in the New Testament era, one must hear and keep God’s commandments.
