Bible Study: Obedience

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 ¶Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)

So many Christians say “I’m been saved!”. They make that declaration in the past tense like it can never change or would ever change. Then they go about their business taking the name of the Lord in vain, stealing, adultery, other sexual sins and the list goes on.  How can one say “I’ve been saved” as they profane the name of the Lord or have a physical relationship outside the bonds of marriage described by the Lord himself.

Besides teaching us about baptism, this passage tells us “observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you”.  This means we should observe or do all things that The Lord taught while He was on earth. That also includes all things we learn from His apostles.

We are told not to take the name of the Lord in vain. We are taught to not commit adultery or have physical relations outside the holy bonds of marriage between a man and a women.  If we are going to declare that we have been saved then that needs to mean we are always working on living the gospel of Christ.

Celtic Cross Pendant

This isn’t a bad thing. It seems so restrictive not to be able to do all those things. There is a blessing behind obedience which is that He will be with us always. Sterling silver Celtic cross jewelry is a great way to remind us to be obedient and Celtic cross jewelry provides many ways to do that.

First select a sterling silver Celtic cross pendant from the Celtic cross jewelry and use it to make yourself an inspirational Celtic cross pendant necklace or even a Celtic cross pendant rear view mirror ornament.

I think of it this way…From a Christian stand point what symbol represents love better than a Celtic cross pendant?  The empty cross is a symbol of the resurrected Lord. He gave Himself as a ransom for sin and gave us the opportunity to repent and to be resurrected after death.  The fact that He suffered and bleed and died on the cross for us is the greatest act of love in all the history of humanity.

There are many standard Celtic cross meanings that are generally accepted and these additional Celtic cross symbols add a lot of meaning to the already symbolic cross pendant.  The unique symbolism based on 3’s or a triad symbolism is very much in the triquetra symbolism. The triquetra is also more popularly known as a Christian Holy Trinity knot.  There is also another Celtic knot known as the Celtic triskele.

The  Celtic knot symbol is based on a knot with three sides or three corner, roughly in the shape of a trinity. Here is a picture of a trinity knot.
