Seven Basic Commands of Jesus

Seven Basic Commands of Jesus

“If you love me, keep my commandments.”

1. Repent, believe, and receive the Holy Spirit (be conversion, be born again, be ‘saved’),
Mark 1:15; John 3:16; John 20:22

2. Baptize new believers, initiating them into their new life (leading to their personal transformation),
Acts 2:38; Matthew 28:18-20

3. Love God, neighbours, believers, the needy and enemies (forgive them),
Matt. 22:36-40; Jn 13:34-35, Luke 10:25-37; Matt. 5:43-48

4. Break bread (Communion, the Lord's Table, related to all that we do in worship),
Matthew 26:26-28; John 4:24

5. Pray using Jesus' name (privately and as family devotions, do intercession and spiritual warfare),
John 16:24

6. Give freely (stewardship of your treasure, time and talents),
Luke 6:38; Matt. 6:1-4

7. Make disciples (witness for Christ, shepherd his flock, apply the Word, train leaders, send missionaries),
Matthew 28:18-20
