Although God gave the Ten Commandments to His people through Moses at Mount Sinai more than 3,000 years ago, they are still relevant today. They have an abiding significance. These Laws originate from God and from His eternal character; therefore, their moral value cannot change. They are part of a covenant between God and His people. These Laws are often called the Decalogue, from the Greek word which means "ten words".

About 1,300 years after God gave the Laws, Jesus upheld them, calling them the 'Commandments' and listing five of them for the rich young ruler. - Matt. 19:16-22 - And in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus showed that His coming had not canceled the Commandments. He specifically mentioned the Laws, against killing - Matt. 5:21 - and committing adultery. - Matt. 5:27 -

Jesus actually placed these Laws on a higher place by demanding that the Spirit as well as the legal aspects of the Law be kept. Jesus placed His eternal stamp of approval on the Law by declaring "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets, I did not come to destroy but to fulfill". - Matt. 5:17-19 -

The Holy God uttered His Commandments from the top of Mount Sinai amid smoke and fire - visible expressions of His power, His majesty and His authority. - Ex. 19:16 to 20:17 - Later the Commandments were engraved on two tablets of stone, 'written with the finger of God'. - Ex. 31:18 -

The awesome nature of the events surrounding the giving of the Law is mentioned a number of times in the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible perhaps to emphasize the solemnity of the occasion. - Ex. 19:16-19; Deut. 4:11-12 -

God never intended for the Ten.............

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.


HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
