Are The Ten Commandments For Today

Deuteronomy 4:1 – Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statues and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.

How many of us could recite the Ten Commandments that God gave us to live by?

Are we living each day based on these commandments?

Moses’ introduced these commandments in his second sermon to the Israelites before they began their conquest of the Promised Land.

They were camped east of the Jordan River.

Before the people entered into battle, they needed to know what they were fighting for.

They were in a battle for more than their homeland; they were fighting to fulfill their faith covenant with God.

In his sermon, Moses recited the 10 commandments that were written by the finger of God because of His love for His people.

The Israelites and us must understand that just knowing and teaching the 10 commandments is not enough. As believers, we must all live by them as we develop a relationship with God and others.

The question is - how many of us know the Ten Commandments? Keep reading the next blogs for the answer.
