“And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Exodus 20:1-3 KJV
The Ten Commandments are God’s eternal, unchanging principles and as new creatures in Christ we cannot ignore but rather fulfill them, given by our Commander Himself. He enables us to fulfill them because Jesus fulfilled the law on the Cross and finished it. In Christ, His commandments are not burdensome but a delight because He gave us His Holy Spirit living inside us to obey them. All these laws are summed up in the royal law of love. Loving God and neighbours is fulfilled by the love God has poured into us by the Holy Spirit. The Ten Commandments deal with the fruit, the Gospel deals with the root. We can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us. What good news! Hallelujah!
