The Law of God (Ten
Commandments)
Lesson 11
Marking code: TC
Marking Color: Blue
Key Text: Exodus 20:1-17
- Exodus
20:1-17. God gave His
moral law, the Ten
Commandments, on Mount Sinai.
These ten rules for living
are the expression of
God’s character. They
tell us how to relate to Him
and to each other in a way
that is in harmony with
God’s character of love.
- Matthew
5:17-19. Jesus did not
come to destroy-or do away
with-the law; He came to
fulfill it-live out its
principles in His life on
earth. He specifically says
that God’s law will
remain as long as heaven and
earth exists.
Isaiah 42:21. Jesus
came to magnify the law and honor it.
- Romans
5:12-14. God’s law
has always existed;
otherwise, there could be no
sin-or death.
Romans 4:15.
1 John 3:4. Sin is
“lawlessness” or
transgression of the law.
Romans 6:23. The
penalty for sin is death.
- Psalm 19:7.
God’s law is perfect
and eternal. In this way, it
is a reflection of God
Himself.
Psalm 111:7,8.
- James
2:10-12. In the final
judgment, human beings will
be judged by the standard of
God’s law.
James 4:17.
- John 14:15.
We keep God’s law
because we love Him and
because He has saved us by
His grace. Commandment
keeping is not a means
to salvation. We are not
saved by our obedience to
God’s law. Our obedience
is an evidence of our
salvation.
Romans 3:28
John 15: 10-14.
1 John 5:2,3.
Romans 13:10.
- 1 John
2:3,4. The bible uses
strong language to describe
those who claim to be
God’s children but who
are disobedient to His
commandments. Those who know
God and love Him will be
willing to obey Him in all
things. They are not perfect,
but they have an attitude of
willing obedience.
Proverbs 28:9
- Jeremiah
31:33. Christ wants to
write His law in our hearts.
That is, He wants its
principles to become a part
of our lives so that we obey
because we want to obey-not
because we feel we must.
Psalm 119: 1,10, 165.
- Revelation
22:14. God pronounces a
special blessing on those who
keep His commandments.
