Psalm 119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed your commandments. I. WHAT IS IMPLIED IN BELIEVING GOD'S COMMANDMENTS. 1. That we are persuaded of their reality and existence. 2. That we are convinced of their excellence and absolute perfection. 3. That we receive them as of perpetual and everlasting obligation. 4. A holy dread of their rigour and severity. 5. Prayer to God for strength to obey them. II. THE IMPORTANCE AND NECESSITY OF SUCH A FAITH. 1. God's commands are a part of Divine revelation, and therefore the proper objects of faith. Being the word of God, they must be received as such. 2. A supposed faith in God's promises, and not in His commands, will prove only a delusion. 3. Faith is necessary in order to acceptable obedience. (B. Beddome, M. A.)
