The 10 commandments points us to our condition of Sure Death! Only to point us to our only Hope for sure everlasting Life!
Genesis 2:16-17
16The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."
The 10 commandments shows us the provisions we make for the flesh!
Romans 13:8-14:
"Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
9For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 12The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
The 10 commandments are but an extension of God’s first commandment to Adam; and the consequent breaking of that first commandment reveals by nature of what we have become in the sinful nature exposed by the 10 Commandments.
The 10 Commandments points us to the Holy Nature and Character of God and points us to our unholy nature and the constant breaking of God’s Command, “ 17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."
The commandment to Adam points us to the measure and standard of God’s Holy Perfection of Love in the 10 Commandments, whereby we must obey His command or we will surely die!
The commandment to Adam points us to our nature that we will not obey it, because, like a mirror, The 10 Commandments shows us the nature of our sinful state of what we have become.
The commandment to Adam points out our willful rebellion against God to seek after independence from God; The 10 Commandments reminds us of the bondage of our will to disobey God continually.
The Commandment to Adam points to our own works of making provisions for the flesh to obey its Lusts in works of the flesh that disobey the 10 commandments.
The Commandment to Adam points us to our status, state and condition we are in of God’s Wrath Constantly abiding on us, and the 10 Commandments is like a mirror to us to reflect the state of sure Death.
The Commandment to Adam points us to our inability to obey its Command, because we are surely dead! And the 10 Commandments reveal our sure dead nature unable to respond in obedience to God’s command, apart from the quickening power of the Holy Spirit.
The Commandment to Adam points us to our need for Jesus to Deliver us from our wretched condition of depravity and bondage to our willful rebellion, rage and enmity against God.
For in the 10 Commandments, Jesus perfectly obeyed the Law of God’s Holy nature of Love.
For in the 10 Commandments Jesus was the effulgence and bright ray of perfect obedience of eternal Love made manifest in His vicarious life for our account that we might have hope and have His righteousness Imputed to our account by God the Father; that we may be clothed in His Perfect Righteousness and His holy Nature!
Having Heard this, Do you Believe on Jesus and trust in His Redemptive work on the cross in His Death and Resurrection?
That He Deliver you from the wrath of God upon your dead soul and set you free from the sin cursed self that you may live a life of righteousness before God, in Holiness without blemish in Love in a right relationship of Peace, Harmony and Balance, of Shalom with God in reconciliation to God by the blood of Jesus, unto Eternal life in knowing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit?
