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.

be judged by the standard of
God’s law.

- 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

of our salvation.

be willing to obey Him in all things.
They are not perfect, but they have
an attitude of willing obedience.
Proverbs
28:9

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.

119: 1,10, 165.

pronounces a special blessing on
those who keep His commandments.
