About the Book
When we were children, we didn’t usually understand that the rules our parents laid down for us were born out of their love for us. What is true for parents is also true for God. The rules God has given to us, the Ten Commandments, are not only given to us because He loves us but also they are a transcript of His character. By obeying God’s law, we begin the journey of becoming like Him.
The vast majority of people, Christian or not, will readily agree that some of the Ten Commandments are still valid—don’t kill, don’t steal, honor your parents, be faithful to your spouse. The majority of Christians acknowledge that nine of the Ten are still valid. But what about that other one—the fourth? Are we still obligated to keep the fourth commandment? Why is it that the one commandment that God begins with the word “remember” is the one that many people would like to forget?
Between these covers you will find a clear, concise, biblical answer to these questions. The author lays out in logical form scriptural evidence that God’s law, including the fourth commandment, was kept—and is intended to be kept—from Eden down through all eternity. The only question you’ll have by the end of the book will be: will I honor God by keeping all ten of His commandments—or not?
Available in PAPERBACK and eBOOK formats.

TEACH Services received the following review:
“The book God’s Love for Us has been a blessing to me personally, because it lays out clearly the beauty of the 7th day Sabbath for all Christians to examine for themselves. With the tender way it lays out the scriptures anyone who prayerfully considers the evidence will be touched in heart and soul. The sweet spot pointed out in the book is that the Sabbath was made for man. Think of it—when you make something for someone when they appreciate it, you are both blessed. We pray that others will be inspired to search the scriptures presented with such clarity and rejoice that God made the 7th day for them, too.”

“I received this little book called God’s Love for Us and His Remedy for Our Sins written by Al Matlock from Al’s sister, Louise. After reading it I was very impressed with how easy it was to read and understand. Also, how it makes it clear that God’s law has always been and that it always will be. I feel it would be very helpful for anyone looking for truth—not just about Sabbath, but about God’s love.
“I sincerely hope that Al can get this book out there. I believe it would be very good and very helpful to have it in our church library.”

“I appreciate Al’s systematic, Bible-saturated presentation of his personal study and journey to understand clearly what the Bible teaches about the Commandments of God—specifically the Sabbath of the 4th Commandment. His approach is warm but to the point. A straight testimony that leaves one with a decision to make: for or against keeping God’s commandments.”

“Al Matlock is a master carpenter and contractor, who spent his life building homes to the highest quality standard. He also has a passion to know God and to have a clear picture of what God expects of a believer. Digging deep into the Scriptures looking for answers, he questioned the words of pastors, teachers, and self-professed spiritual instructors. The same precision he practiced in his craft, he applied to the study of the Bible, accepting only the teachings and answers that were firmly grounded in the Word. If you have the same passion to know the heart of God and what He expects of His followers, this book is a must read.”
