greatest commandments likewise help me to see the depth and breadth of my own need . The 10 Commandments help me to see my actions that are sinful , while the two greatest commandments help me to see more about the state of my heart that led to right or wrong actions . While people can only judge others by outward actions and the words of their mouths , we should nevertheless learn to judge ourselves rightly — knowing what is in our hearts by the light and conviction of the Holy Spirit — because that is how Yeshua will judge us . ( Isaiah 11:1-5 , Romans 14:10-12 )
I pray that these last two articles have been edifying and sanctifying for you as we are approaching the fall feasts in the month of Tishrei . The traditions around the month of Elul show us that repentance does not need to wait for the special day of Yom Kippur focused on repentance — we can repent as soon as we know our sin knowing that a day of judgment is coming . The 10 Commandments with the two greatest commandments are always applicable and worthy of meditation , not just when called to repentance by the Shofar blasts starting at Yom Teruah .
In the next and last article in this series , I want to bring the context and discussion of these two articles to bear on a specific and critical topic :
What does it mean to support Israel in these last days until Yeshua returns and why it is morally right to do so ?
