Audio： A Great Present

God lives and works today. He never changes. That means that though many seek to ignore or undermine His commandments, they still remain valid for today. And so does the resultant blessing which He has promised to those who will hear and obey His voice. Today's meditation called A Great Present by Basilia Schlink will tell us about this, one of God's greatest gifts to mankind. No one like Thee, neither above in heaven, nor below here on earth. No one like Thee, Lord, no one like Thee. Who is like God? Who is like God? No one like Thee, no one, no, none with Thee compares. The Ten Commandments from Sinai and the various forms of them which shine forth in the New Testament show us God's heart. He shows us in these what He desires from us. He's given us the commandments to show us the way to true happiness. It is the way of love towards Him and our neighbor. All the commandments are about love in one way or another. Sometimes they tell us not to do the things which are against love, like murder, theft, adultery, slander, and so on. They seek to keep us from sinning against love. But they're also holy, and we must cherish them and keep them holy. We cannot simply do as we please according to our own discretion. The laws of God are everlasting. We can try to undermine them, but they will not collapse, for they've been grounded in God Himself. We can declare them invalid or out of date, but they cannot lose their validity. They remain binding for us. Therefore, let's resolve to live our everyday lives in response to this great offer of love. He who is eternal love, who has opened His heart to us by giving us His commandments of love, is waiting for us to fulfill these commandments in our lives through our Lord Jesus, so that something of the kingdom of love might be made manifest in our midst. There is no God, no God like Thee, neither above in heaven nor below here on earth. No one like Thee, Lord, no one like Thee.
