GOD'S LAW IS A ROADMAP THAT LEADS US TO SUPREME HAPPINESS, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Please, share this lesson with your family, friends co-worker and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
Why did God give us the Ten Commandments?
Answer: The Bible details the following reasons for God’s law:
A. “Happy is he who keeps the law” (Proverbs 29:18). “Keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you” (Proverbs 3:1, 2).
God’s law is a guide that leads to happy and abundant living. God created us to experience happiness, peace, long life, contentment, accomplishment, and all the other great blessings for which our hearts long. God’s law is a roadmap that points out the right paths to follow in order to find this true, supreme happiness.
True, inner joy follows those who keep God’s commandments. We were created to live in harmony with these eternal principles.
B. “By the law is the knowledge of sin” (Romans 3:20). “I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, ‘You shall not covet’” (Romans 7:7). “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4 KJV).
God’s law shows sinful hearts like ours the difference between right and wrong. Sin is wrong; it is transgressing, or breaking, the law. Without a law to declare what sin is, there would be no standard with which to judge wrongdoing.
God’s law is like a mirror (James 1:23–25). It points out wrongdoing in our lives much like a mirror points out dirt on our faces. The most accurate way for us to know we are sinning is to carefully check our lives by the mirror of God’s law. Hope for this mixed-up world is found in God’s Ten Commandments. It tells us where to draw the line!
C. “The Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes [commandments] … for our good always” (Deuteronomy 6:24). “Hold me up, and I shall be safe, and I shall observe Your statutes continually. You reject all those who stray from Your statutes” (Psalm 119:117, 118).
God’s law protects us from danger and tragedy. It is like an alarm system that protects your home from burglars and criminals. It protects us from falsehood, murder, idolatry, theft, and many other evils that destroy life, peace, and happiness.
All good laws protect, and God’s law is no exception. How powerful then is Christ’s quotation of Deuteronomy 8:3 when tempted by Satan in the wilderness: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4)!
Do I have to keep all the Ten Commandments? “Whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10).
Answer: If we choose to ignore one of the Ten Commandments, we neglect an essential part of the divine blueprint. Think of the law of God like many ropes knotted together to hold up a bridge.
If even just one knot is unraveled or broken, the bridge, that pathway to safety, will fall apart, even if the rest of the rope is unbroken. Likewise, breaking one commandment will ultimately lead you to fall from grace even if you keep the other nine.
