GOD DOES NOT BRING HIMSELF DOWN TO HUMAN STANDARD, HE CALLED US TO RISE TO HIS STANDARD
God does not bring Himself down to our human standard. He calls us to rise to His standard.
We live in a generation where people are increasingly comfortable redefining God’s Word to fit their preferences. Some say, “I will keep this commandment, but that one is no longer necessary.” But the question is not, “Which commandments do I prefer?” The question is, “What has God commanded?”
The Ten Commandments are not ten suggestions. They reveal the character, righteousness, and moral will of God. Scripture says, “The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” — Romans 7:12.
Look carefully at the commandments:
1. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Are we putting God first, or have we allowed something else to occupy His place?
2. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.”
Are we worshiping God according to His Word, or according to human tradition?
3. “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.”
Do our words and lives honor the name we claim to represent?
4. “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
Why do people readily accept nine commandments while arguing against the fourth? If God wrote all ten, who gave us permission to erase one?
5. “Honour thy father and thy mother.”
Do we respect the authority God has established in the family?
6. “Thou shalt not kill.”
God values human life.
7. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
God calls us to purity and faithfulness.
8. “Thou shalt not steal.”
God requires honesty and respect for what belongs to others.
9. “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”
God calls His people to truthfulness.
10. “Thou shalt not covet.”
God is not merely concerned with outward behavior; He searches the heart.
Notice something important: the commandments are connected. We cannot claim to honor the God who gave the law while deliberately rejecting the commandment we find inconvenient.
James 2:10–11 teaches that the One who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not kill.” The same God stands behind the whole law.
But let us be clear: we are not saved by keeping the law. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Yet grace does not give us permission to live in rebellion. Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” — John 14:15.
The law does not replace Christ. Christ leads us to obedience.
So before we select which commandments we want to keep, let us humble ourselves and ask:
“Lord, what does Your Word say?”
God does not need to lower His standard to accommodate our disobedience. He calls us higher.
Let us stop choosing between commandments and start choosing obedience to God.
“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” — Revelation 14:12
God’s standard remains God’s standard—even when society changes.
