The Ten Commandments Today: Part Two 3.10.2024

In today’s world, it’s important to live by the principles of the Ten Commandments as they guide life.

The Ten Commandments Today| 3.3.2024

Christians and the Commandments| 2.25.2024

People expect to be paid for their work; they get angry and protest when they are not paid. They have worked hard for their pay and believe they deserve it. Gifts, however, are not seen in the same way as wages. We don’t get mad at people who don’t give us gifts out of the blue, but we are usually happy when we receive an unexpected gift. Gifts can change our mood, attitude, and even our view on life.

‌

According to the Bible, God gives us a gift we do not deserve if we believe in Christ. This gift is called grace, and we should react to it in the same way we respond to any other gift, only on a much larger scale. When we truly understand and value God’s grace, it can change us from the inside out. Christians live and work not to be saved but because we are saved.

Christ and the Commandments| 2.18.2024

Christ Jesus is the complete embodiment of the Law, having fulfilled it by becoming cursed by it, putting an end to its rule, and bringing all people together with God through it. In brief, the Law made evident God’s holiness, His people’s need for Him, the nature of our sins, and the requirement of a Savior. Jesus fulfilled all our needs by Himself. He took on the sins of humanity and became the word made flesh, satisfying all of God’s requirements. Afterwards, He offered His righteousness to everyone who has faith in Him. Ultimately, Jesus has reconciled us to God and with both Jews and Gentiles via His body, the Church. In conclusion, none of this would be possible without Jesus Christ, He is truly worthy of our praise.

The Limits of the Commandments| 2.11.2024

The Ten Commandments stress how significant the covenant terms God gave to Moses were. They explain how God wants His people to live in His presence and with each other, giving people instructions on how to follow Him. Last week, we discussed how the Ten Commandments have a purpose, which was to reveal God’s glory, reveal man’s sinfulness, separate God’s chosen people from everyone else, provide a standard for godly living, prepare the way for Christ, and last, reveal to the world the person and work of Jesus Christ.

The Purpose of the Commandments| 2.4.2024

The Ten Commandments were given to Moses as significant covenant terms. They guide people on how to live in God’s presence and with each other. The law aimed to protect Israel’s freedom, not make them slaves again.

In the book of Exodus, the Israelites arrived at Mount Sinai after fleeing from Egypt.
