The Sacred 10 Commandments

Article Category: Religion

Author Name: Chris Bradley

There are several basic teachings that anchor Christians to their faith. One of the most significant of these is the 10 Commandments also identified as the Decalogue.

The Story of Moses and God's Covenant with the Israelites

After leading the Israelites from servitude under the Egyptians, God guided the people across the dessert. They arrived at Mt. Sinai where the Lord reached out to his people. Even though they feared him, he still called upon Moses and conferred with him. God established a covenant with his people through Moses by handing out two tablets made of stone upon which the commandments were etched. Though the first set of tablets was broken by Moses in anger upon coming down the mountain to find the Israelites worshipping a golden idol, they were replaced by God. These commandments are then given the distinction of being "written with the finger of God" (Exodus 31:18). Its importance is further emphasized when these tablets were given the highest importance among all of God's laws by being the center of the tabernacle.

Up to this day, these 10 Commandments are applicable to our modern day lives. They have been phrased in broad terms without specific details or punishments so as to apply on a case to case basis. This is glaringly obvious when you liken Exodus 20: 1-17 to the rest of the verses in the book of Exodus where God gives more specific detail on his directions. This is because the 10 Commandments were meant to transcend through time.

The 10 Commandments Summarized

All the commandments God gave has the intent of leading us to his promised land. It directs us by focusing on our relationship with God, with our family members and with other people. He calls us to put him at the center of our lives and worship no other Gods, whether it be idols, material possessions, or physical pleasures. He is directing us to observe the Sabbath day so that we may grow in faith and have time to get to know him and his word. It also tells us that we should honor our relationships especially that of our family members. Another basic teaching that can be derived from the 10 Commandments is to respect life by not engaging in murder, respect our parents, and to respect other people by not unduly taking from him his possessions and envying him his belongings.

This is further simplified in the New Testament, particularly in Matthew 22:37-39. Jesus, in response to the Pharisees who tried to trap him said:

"Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' (NIV)

This summarized the 10 commandments so adequately for if we love God and our neighbour, we would act according to what those commandments decree.
