God is amazing.
There are 49 commands of Christ in the Bible.
That is the number 7×7.
Many say that 7 is the number of completion, because God created the heavens, the earth, and even rested all within just 7 days.
Numbers certainly mean something.
If you’re not prophetic, you may not want to regard the significance of numbers, thinking that they may be linked to satanism or witchcraft.
But, if you understand spiritual things, you’ll realize that the significance and meaning of numbers show us a window into the spirit realm.
If you see repeating numbers, that probably means that God is with you or you’re headed in the right way.
If you don’t, you should seek the Lord to check and see if you’re actually doing the right thing, going the right way, or doing what God wants you to be doing.
God even named a book in the Bible, “Numbers”.
He numbered every hair on your head, (Luke 12:7).
49 is also the number of years in a jubilee, where the 50th year is a whole year “off” for the land to rest.
In a jubilee year, people in the land cease working, and all debts are forgiven, as well as land being renewed back to their original owner.
Jubilee years are mentioned in Leviticus chapter 25.
Anyways, without further ado, here is what you came for.
The 49 commands of Christ:
1. Repent

Matthew 5:16
5. Honor God’s Law

Matthew 4:17-18

Matthew 5:23-24
7. Do Not Commit Adultery
“If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”

Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.”
