Ten Commandments

Exodus 20:1-17
1Then God spoke all these words, saying,
2"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3"You shall have no other gods before Me.
4"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
5"You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,
6but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
8"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9"Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
11"For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13"You shall not murder.
14"You shall not commit adultery.
15"You shall not steal.
16"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor."


I am going to teach on the Ten Commandments in 5 parts. I’ll teach two Commandments a week. The Ten Commandments are vital to know.
Galatians 3:24 says “Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.” The law was our tutor which, by showing us our sins, and leading us to Christ. It is only the Law that shows us our sins. It is only the Law that brings out our sin.
In witnessing the Ten Commandments are important. Psalm 19:7 “The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” The Law shows the sinner they are not saved. The Law shows them they need a Savior.
This teaching shouldn’t be taken lately. This study will make you reexamine yourself. And so it should. Again, please don’t take this lightly. God’s Word is important and strong. Hold fast to ever Word that God speaks through His Word.

We are the laborers and God is Sovereign
