TULIP GEMS

THE BLESSINGS OF THE LAW

 

 

 

The Holy Bible is the Word of God.  It promises blessings for those who, saved by faith in Christ, strive to love God by keeping His Law.  This applies to individuals, their families, churches, communities and nations.  Hear what God says through these Men of God who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

 

 DAVID

 

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

 

But his delight is in the Law of the LORD; and in his Law doth he meditate day and night.

 

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” (Psalm 1:1-3)

 

 MOSES

 

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his Commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

 

And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

 

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

 

Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

 

Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.  Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

 

The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

 

The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

 

The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the Commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.

 

And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.

 

And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

 

The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

 

And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the Commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

 

And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.”  (Deuteronomy 28:1-14)

 

 OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

 

“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

 

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

 

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

 

 

 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

 

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

 

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

 

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

 

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”   (Matthew 5:3-12)

 

 

“And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

 

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the Word of God, and keep it.” (Luke 11:27-28)

 

JAMES

 

“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”  (James 1:12)

 

 

“But whoso looketh into the perfect Law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.”  (James 1:25)
