THE REAL
REASON WHY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN
BY DR. MERVYN ABREO
The Ten
Commandments were never given for the sole purpose of being blindly obeyed!
They had a deeper purpose!
OBVIOUS OR SUPERFICIAL REASON FOR THE TEN COMMANDMENTS:
Everyone knows that the Ten Commandments were given so that
they would be obeyed.
[Read them in Exodus (20: 1-17), and see for yourselves!]
They were a set of
rules, (do this or don’t do that), and they were expected to be obeyed.
And they were
meant for everyone, without exception. And everyone broke one commandment, or
many of them!
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
(Rom. 3:23).
And: ‘everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact,
sin is lawlessness’. (1Jh.3:4).
In many of my articles,
e.g. ‘The real reason why Jesus washed His disciple’s feet’ I have given not
only the superficial, but also the deeper reason for the Lord’s actions.
THE REAL DEEPER REASON for giving the Ten Commandments / Law
‘So the law was put in charge to lead us to
Christ that we might be justified by faith’ (Gal.3:24).
The deeper reason that The Ten Commandments,
a set of rules, were given, was to show us that we could never be perfect.
And that, try as we
may, we could never be perfect, and we would always fall far short of the high
standards of a perfect God. And to meet His high expectations, and bridge the
gap, we would need a Savior.
And the only Savior
provided by the one true Living God, was the Lord Jesus Christ.
And it is only by faith in Him,
and Him alone, that we could be saved, by grace alone, and become saints.
(Ephes. 2: 8, 9).
