Commandments Not Suggestions


“For this is the love of God that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.”  1 John 5:4

There are some schools of thought that say the Ten Commandments are the ten suggestions and that as long as we do not maliciously stray from them, then we are doing OK.  That is so wrong.  God did not give us the Ten Commandments to make our lives difficult.  God gave us the Ten Commandments to make our lives easier. 

The heart and soul of the Ten Commandments are love and respect for God, our self and mankind.   Isn’t that what the Gospel is all about? 

Read the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20.  See what you think.
