Why The Ten Commandments?

Deuteronomy 5:2 – 3 – The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

God gave the Ten Commandments as a covenant to His people and for various other reasons.

The purpose of the law was to reveal the God of the law.

When you focus on the lawgiver you find delight in obeying his commands.

God revealed his greatness and His glory at Mt. Sinai when the law was given.

He wanted to remind us He is a Holy God.

God’s law gives us a gauge by which we should live and conduct our lives.

God wanted to write his words/law on the heart of every believer.

God’s law was meant to give us long lives full of purpose, greatness and humility.


Do you know that the law is given because of God’s love for you?
