The Ten Commandments:
God's perpetual non-negotiable law

The Ten Commandments are a solid base for your conscience.
If you've sound morals, you'll not dishonor your parents, steal, murder, commit adultery, envy, or bear false witness.
Should you find yourself struggling and need help obeying the Ten Commandments, pray and ask God for help.

​

Some suggest the 10 Commandments are taboo and that Jesus Christ did away with them with his sacrifice on the cross.

They say we don't need to keep God's law because it was fulfilled through Christ.

That's simply not true

Jesus tells us in Matthew 19:17 - "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

​

We’ve no excuse to sin
The witness of God is written on every heart, Romans 1:20 contains some very sobering words: “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” Essentially, we are without excuse.
 

Before the Almighty, we are accountable
Accountability to God – and not just to ourselves – is why many in our culture wish there were no “natural moral law.” This is what John 3:19 indicates: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

The Gospel contains the indictment over man’s love for sin, but John 3:16 records God’s intervention to save us from our guilt: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
 

The best lifestyle choice we could ever make is to
respond to the Gospel in faith and obedience.
He’ll reward you beyond your wildest expectations.
