THE ADVENT TRUTH
When you ask many modern Christians to show biblical proof that the Ten Commandments were abolished, the conversation often gets very quiet. Why? Because there is no verse that says God’s eternal law was done away with. Instead, the Bible repeatedly affirms that God’s commandments still matter.
Jesus Himself said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil” (Matthew 5:17). If something is fulfilled, it’s brought to completion, not destroyed. Paul echoed this in Romans 3:31: “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.”
Some try to twist verses like Colossians 2:14 or Galatians 3:25, but these passages speak of the ceremonial laws and ordinances, not the Ten Commandments written by the very finger of God (Exodus 31:18). The sacrificial system was a shadow pointing to Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice, but God’s moral law—the Ten Commandments—reveals His character and our sin. Sin is still real, and 1 John 3:4 clearly defines it: “Sin is the transgression of the law.”
If the Ten Commandments were abolished, then murder, theft, adultery, lying, and coveting would no longer be sins. Clearly, no one believes that! In fact, James 2:10-12 teaches that breaking even one commandment makes us guilty of breaking them all, and we will be judged by this “law of liberty.”
The uncomfortable truth is this: the fourth commandment—the Sabbath—is the only one most Christians try to explain away. Yet Revelation 14:12 describes God’s end-time people as those who “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” This is not legalism; it’s love. Jesus said plainly, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15).
Don’t be silent when someone asks for proof that God’s law was abolished. The Bible never gives it. Instead, it calls us back to obedience through grace, preparing us for the soon return of Jesus.
