Is It Possible To Perfectly Obey God's Commands? (Part 2)

Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded him.  Exodus 40:16


In verses 19, 20, 22, 24, 27, 29, and 30 of chapter 40 in Exodus, these words are repeated:


"As the LORD commanded him."


God gave Moses specific commands, then Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded him.


What makes Moses different from us? Didn't he resist the call of God on his life at the burning bush, so that God's anger burned against Moses?  Didn't God forbid Moses to enter the promise land because Moses misrepresented God in anger?


Moses was a human being just like you and me, yet at this point in his life, in Exodus 40, "Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded him."


How? 
By faith.


The commands of the LORD are not too difficult.  They are not beyond your reach.  They are not burdensome.  And by commands I don't mean the 10 Commandments, or the "630 laws."  I mean the commands given by the Spirit of Christ to you today, and even right now.  We are to follow the leading of the Spirit, and to do everything just as He commands.
