“The Positive Commandments” article uploaded to this site a few weeks ago looked at the two “positive” commands in the Ten Commandments – those telling us things we should do as opposed to things we should not do. But there are many other positive commands found throughout the Bible. The Old Testament contains over 600 commands with some 248 being positively worded, and the New Testament actually has far more positive commands than negative commands.
But all the “interpersonal” positive commandments found in the Bible have some things in common. “More Positive Commands,” uploaded this week, looks at those commonalities and how they can better help us understand the principles behind the commands.
A tremendous amount of progress can be made in Christian growth by understanding the difference between the negatively and positively worded biblical commands, and what that teaches us. Check out the articles to see how we can grow in applying the love of God and of each other in ever more positive and effective ways.
