The purpose of the 10 Commandments was to show every person how utterly sinful and helpless we are; if we broke one commandment we broke it all. It was not given to earn our salvation, but it was given to render us helpless to perfectly obey it. Our repentance comes by God’s Grace in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:20 "Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin."

John Calvin Said regarding the Grace of God and repentance: we are moved to repentance not by the threat of God’s law but by the promise of his grace. The threat of the law will only make us run from God, unless we know that he will receive us when we turn back to him in repentance.

“21 But now righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:21-24
