At School we have been teaching the children the ten commandments.
Is it relevant???
Yes it is! - Many children
have no sense of values except what they see on screens – TV, smart phones, I
pad etc. Hence it is vital to establish the writing of the Lord God to guide
their conscience. It also registers a sense of the holiness of God.
Yes it is! - teaching about
Jesus Christ dying for our sins is meaningless if people don’t know what sin
is. Paul wrote: “apart from the law , sin lies dead” (Romans 7:8). Thus the law
gives meaning to the Lord Jesus Christ dying as a sacrifice for sin.
Yes it is! - The first
commandment points heavenward – to worship the invisible, heaven residing God.
He alone is worthy of our devotion and obedience.
Yes it is! - The last
commandment confirms the statement of
Romans 3:23 – “All have sinned” .
From Eve to the present, the sin of covetousness stains every mind.
Yes it is! - God knows best
how to order society. From the days of the week to marriage to loving our
neighbour, His way is best.
Does it achieve salvation and eternal life – NO.
Only the LORD God gives eternal life as a gift through His Son Jesus
Christ our Lord.
The Law condems us, hence we need a sacrifice.
The Law exemplifies the Holy character of God
