Teach Them to Obey - All That I Have Commanded You

A unique and comprehensive analysis of all the commands of Jesus, grouped and summarised into a simple-to-remember form of three high-level and nine lower-level themes. 

This reference source for pastors and teachers presents a comprehensive biblical foundation to address our (the church’s) ‘failure’ to teach disciples to obey all the commands of Jesus.

A detailed analysis of all of the commands of Jesus in the New Testament forms the basis for this work, grouping and summarising them into twelve themes that collectively present over eighty distinct commands (Kingdom Behaviours).

The main material is grouped under three Kingdom Fundamental headings. Two are outward focused - commands that relate to our need to ‘Love God’ and the requirement to ‘Love Your Neighbour As Yourself’. The third addresses commands directed at our inner motivations and behaviours as individuals, under the Kingdom Fundamental title ‘Follow Jesus’.

Each chapter includes Kingdom Practice sub-sections: two under ‘Love God’, four under ‘Follow Jesus’ and three under ‘Love Your Neighbour As Yourself’.

At the lowest level (Kingdom Behaviours), related commands of Jesus are quoted, with any parallel biblical texts highlighted. 

Diagrams are included throughout to build and demonstrate the simple structure that is the focus of this material.

This is for anyone with an interest in Jesus’s teaching. Above all, those who are discipling fellow followers of Jesus and/or simply want to understand how Jesus’s commands can be grouped into a simple to remember structure.
