GOD HAS A LAW, THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
Please, share this lesson with your family, friends co-worker and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
The Lord said to Moses, ‘I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written’” (Exodus 24:12). “He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone” (Deuteronomy 4:13).
The foundation of every government is the laws that govern its citizens. Laws help to maintain order and provide justice. (Even nature is governed by laws, such as the laws of heredity and gravity.) The law that God instructed His people to obey is the Ten Commandments, which are found in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.
Who gave the Ten Commandments?
“He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God. … Now the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets” (Exodus 31:18; 32:16).
Answer: The Bible tells us that “Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire … and the whole mountain quaked greatly” (Exodus 19:18). There were “thunderings” and “lightning flashes” (Exodus 20:18).
At this time, the God of heaven spoke the Ten Commandments aloud to the children of Israel, and then He wrote the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone with His own finger.
The fourth commandment is such a heated debate today (Exodus 20:8-11). It is Satan’s aim to divert humanity from living out the principles of love, to cause as many people as possible to depart from the path that brings peace, joy, and security.
Through various means, especially deception, Satan seeks to represent God’s law as a restrictive burden. But is this true? It is important in these last days that each one of us has a personal knowledge of the Word and will of God.
If we are to stand against the deceptions of the devil, we need the help of God’s Spirit—and an “it is written”—in order to emerge victorious, as Christ was victorious.
Can God’s law ever be changed or abolished?
“It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail” (Luke 16:17). “My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips” (Psalm 89:34). “All His precepts [commandments] are sure. They stand fast forever and ever” (Psalm 111:7, 8).
Answer: No. The Bible is clear that the law of God cannot be changed. Unlike human-made laws, which can be amended or even abolished by lawmakers, God’s law never has changed and never will change. The simple reason is because God, the Lawmaker, never changes: “For I am the Lord, I do not change” (Malachi 3:6).
“This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3).
Did Jesus abolish God’s law while He was here on earth?
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law. … I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. … Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled” (Matthew 5:17, 18).
Answer: No! How could Jesus Christ, God with us, abolish His own law when God’s law can never be abolished? Indeed, Jesus’ specific purpose on this earth, which He Himself revealed, was “to fulfill,” or keep, the law in order to magnify it (Isaiah 42:21).
It was humanity that had succeeded in distorting and misunderstanding God’s law, so Jesus came to restore it. For example, He explained that murder means indulging in hatred (1 John 3:15) and being “angry … without a cause” (Matthew 5:22); He clarified that lust is a form of adultery (vv. 27, 28).
No, Jesus did not abolish God’s law while on Earth; He kept it perfectly. His earthly life remains powerful evidence that the law is the perfect guide for holy living. Moreover, Christ was crucified on account of our breaking God’s law. That’s a steep price to pay. If the law had been abolished or obsolete, why did Christ have to die?
"Far from abolishing the law of God, Jesus’ death on the cross reveals just how much God cares about His law.
May God help you to be found among the faithful of Rev. 14:12: Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
