When we’re talking about commandments, some people will settle for the Ten Commandments. God’s brought the believer way up above those. The Lord Jesus has given certain commandments to those that are His own, and that’s what we’re talking about. He’s talking about loving one another, believers. He’s talking about rejoicing in the Lord. And He’s given us these for our guidance. He’s given them to us for our discipline, if you please.

Is to give out the Word of God.
