Why shall you use the Ten Commandments?

Answer 1

The ten commandments are laws that God gave us and each one should be obeyed.
here they are:

1 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me. 2 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments. 3 "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. 4 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. 5 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 6 "You shall not murder. 7 "You shall not commit adultery. 8 "You shall not steal. 9 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 10

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

Answer 2

The Ten Commandments provide a set of moral guidelines that are important for promoting ethical behavior and social cohesion. They emphasize values such as honesty, respect, and integrity, which are essential for maintaining a just and orderly society. Following the principles outlined in the Ten Commandments can help individuals live harmoniously with others and make positive contributions to their communities.

Answer 3

We use the Ten Commandments as a basis for our actions. The first five relate to our relationship to God, the second five to our relationship to our fellow man.

They were given to Moses by God, and as Christians hold Moses to be a man of God, we revere the Commandments as much as Jews do. Where we differ, is that we believe Jesus to have come from God to fulfill the law handed down to Moses by becoming the willing sacrifice for our sins.

Another View:

Jesus told us to keep all the Commandments if we wished to enter into 'eternal' life. The Law of God is Spiritual, as well as eternal:

Matthew 19:17New International Version (NIV) 17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments."

Answer 4

A:

Christians and Jews should follow the Ten Commandments, which are considered by some to be at the heart of the Old Testament. Those who are not Christians or Jews do not follow the Ten Commandments, although those with religious beliefs will have their own commandments of belief.

Answer 5

Christians believe they follow the Ten Commandments, but in practice never really think about them in their daily lives. The first three commandments require believers to worship God only, but Christians do not worship God because these Commandments say to do so, but because worship of God is part of their heritage and belief. The fourth Commandment requires the faithful to do no work on the Sabbath, but large numbers of Christians do go to work, do jobs around the home or follow professional sport on the Sabbath. The fifth commandment tells us to honour our parents, which is something we do out of filial love, not because of a biblical Commandment. The commandments against murder, adultery, theft and false witness tell us not to do what we would not do anyway. The tenth Commandment tells us not to wish for what is the property of our neighbour - including his slaves ("manservant and maidservant").

Christians believe they follow the Ten Commandments, because they believe good Christians should always do so. But the Ten Commandments are not really relevant in their lives.
