Now that I have covered then Ten Commandments and expounded upon their meaning, I wish to place emphasis on the fact that all of these commandments are fulfilled when our hearts become changed. When we give up our selfish prideful desires we start to become the saints of God. We don't become his people by living the law outwardly. If we behave rightly, but in our hearts we desire to be wicked, then we are wicked.
In my blog, I am not trying to promote any particular faith other than faith in a True and Living God. No one religion holds a monopoly on God. All the different denominations can claim all they like about being God's church, but churches are not saved collectively, but rather individual members are saved. In like fashion, a church is a school, but only the students who study and do their assignments will learn the lessons and graduate. We each individually must learn and apply the teachings God has given us in order to obtain the qualities we need to be with Him.
This is the truth. If it hurts your feelings, I can't help it. It doesn't matter if you are Christian, Jewish, Mormon, or some other denomination. Your church does not have power to save you. No ordinance or ritual will save you. Obedience to the commandments is a good start. If you do not apply the commandments to your hearts and be changed, then no amount of forgiveness will change you into a heavenly being. When you die and leave this mortality, your character is not going to be magically transformed into that of a peaceable, loving, selfless person. God pardoning your sin is not going to change who you are.
