Three Commandments and a Blessing

Three Commandments and a Blessing

When Paul restates the 5th commandment, telling children to obey their parents in the Lord, he says it is the first commandment that embodies a promise. The promise has to do with a long life lived well. Since it is the first, then more than one commandment must offer the possibility of a long life. Three commandments come with these promises. We will examine these three blessings and the final incredible blessing God wants to give us.
