THE TEN COMMANDMENTS / EXODUS 20:1-17

(KJV) Exodus 20:1-17

God Himself originally wrote the Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:6-21). He wrote them on two stone tablets and then gave them to Moses, who delivered them to the Israelite people (Exodus 31:18; 32:16; Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4). By following the commandments, the people could show their gratitude to God for rescuing them from slavery in Egypt and also show their desire to live right before God. In addition, obedience was required to remain in the promised land (Deuteronomy 4:1, 14).

1. The Ten Commandments summarize God’s moral law for Israel and describe the people’s obligations both to God and others. Christ, His disciples and the leaders in the early Church verify that these commandments still serve as rules of conduct for New Testament Christians (Matthew 22:37-39; Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:27; Romans 13:9; Galatians 5:14; Leviticus 19:18; Deuteronomy 6:5; 10:12; 30:6). According to these New Testament passages, Christians obey all of the Ten Commandments when they obey the following two: show a complete love for God and an unselfish love for others. Obeying these two commandments is far more than just following rules. Sincere obedience reveals right desires, motives, attitudes and actions (Deuteronomy 6:5). In this way, God’s law requires an inner spiritual righteousness. It will be expressed by outward acts of moral character and holiness (moral and spiritual purity and separation from evil and dedication to God’s purposes. 
2. Most of the laws of the Old Testament that guided Israel’s worship and social life no longer apply to the New Testament believer. The Bible describes them as a sign or “shadow” of better things to come (Hebrews 10:1). Jesus Christ fulfilled, or completed, the Old Testament law (Hebrews 10:1; Matthew 7:12; 22:37-40; Romans 13:8; Galatians 5:14; 6:2); however, He did not come to abolish the law or make it meaningless (Matthew 5:17). These laws still contain wisdom and spiritual principles that apply to all generations (Matthew 5:17).
