The Relevance of the Ten Commandments

By Phil and Patti Moore

Amid thunder, lightning, smoke, and trumpet blasts the fiery mountain trembled and quaked as Moses prepared to meet with God. The commands that Moses received were inscribed by the finger of God - the Ten Commandments - instructions to govern all mankind. So simple and yet so deep. Are these commandments even relevant in our modern society today? Aren't most of them just a bunch of archaic rules? Don't they need to be amended to address the current culture, customs, and circumstances? Do we even know what they mean exactly? For example, consider the first and second commandments; you shall have no other gods before me and you shall not make an idol and bow down and worship it. Don't they mean essentially the same thing? Once we examine these two commandments in context with other Scripture, we discover they are not the same. What does the third commandment mean when it says we are not to take the name of the Lord in vain? It may not be what you think! How about the fourth commandment to honor the Sabbath day? When are we supposed to honor the weekly Sabbath; Saturday, Sunday, when? How do we reconcile the death penalty with the sixth commandment you shall not kill? What is the true meaning of the word covet in the tenth commandment?This booklet will guide you through the meanings of the Hebrew words that shed light on what the commandments really mean. Are they relevant today? Jesus thought so.John 14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments.
