Studying the 10 Commandments *
This page is being built out. You can go through what is available or come back later.
Since the Fall humans are no longer perfect, we were marred by sin through Adam, since all of us are born from him.
While Christians are not under these 10C given to Israel to uphold legalostically, the moral commandments in it do point us all to the perfection of God's holiness & standard. The 9 reiterated in the NT do help us understand a bit about sin, and reveals how far sinful humans fall from being good/perfect.
Christians (the born again) are under the Law of Christ*. And yes it says to love God rightly and love other humans made in God's image rightly. So it seems to encompass the 10C... but really it includes much more.
The Law that is written on mans hearts, as Scripture tells us, is the one that fully points to moral perfection; God's unchanging perfection in character and nature. We were designed perfect but no longer are. Yet it is still written there. The law of righteousness.
Many believers have never studied the commandments in depth and actually grasped how deep this goes, nor studied God's attributes* to gain a deeper understanding of sin and righteousness, so they can truly (with knowledge) walk in the Law of Christ.
If you go through these things you will mature a lot faster and be blessed & you can constantly notice to conquer these in every area of your life.
