To what degree are the Ten Commandments binding to us today? Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial law but what about the moral law? God gave mankind these laws because He cares about our spiritual health. This is God’s gift to His people so they can live well together.

In the third commandment, God tells us not to take the Lord’s name in vain. God takes carrying His name very seriously. We are to carry the glorious and majestic character and reputation of the LORD everywhere we go, in everything we do.

In the fourth commandment, God tells us to keep the Sabbath Holy. Sabbath means taking intentional time of rest in God to reconnect with Him. This is an incredible eternal gift from God to find true rest for our souls.

In the sixth commandment, God tells us not to murder. Why does God give us this universal command? Because all human beings are made in His image and are of immense value to Him.

In the seventh commandment, God tells us not to commit adultery. Although we’ll never have perfect marriages because we’re sinful people, we can experience God’s best when we follow His perfect design.

In the eighth commandment, God instructs us to manage what we’ve been given with wisdom, work hard, generous sharing, and to hold our material possessions loosely.

In the 9th commandment, the Bible tells us not to bear false witness against our neighbor. When we tell the truth, we reveal the true nature of God to others.

In the final sermon in this series, we look at the 10^th commandment. God commands us “do not covet” because He loves us, and He is offering us protection. Coveting destroys individuals, friendships, marriages, churches, and nations.
