HISTORY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

THERE IS A LOT OF IMPORTANT EVENTS THAT MADE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS BE HERE. IN THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES, WE WILL TALK ABOUT ALL OF THE HISTORY BEHIND THE MAKING OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

RECEIVER OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

THERE WAS ONLY ONE MAN WHO GOT TO DIRECTLY SEE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. IT WAS MOSES. DEUTERONOMY 5:1-5 SAYS ‘MOSES SUMMONED ALL ISRAEL AND SAID: HEAR, ISRAEL, THE DECREES AND LAWS I DECLARE IN YOUR HEARING TODAY. LEARN THEM AND BE SURE TO FOLLOW THEM.

WHY THE ISRAELITES WERE GIVEN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

EXODUS 32 SAYS ‘AARON THE BROTHER OF MOSES BUILT AN ALTER OF A GOLD CALF FOR THE ISRAELITES. THIS WAS SIN AGAINST GOD, SO HE SENT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

WHY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE TO US

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO US TO SHOW US OUR SINS.

ROMANS CHAPTER 7

ROMANS CHAPTER 7 TELLS US THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO US TO SHOW US THAT WE ARE SINNERS! JESUS SAID EVEN IF WE TRY TO NOT SIN, WE STILL WILL. WE ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

THIS SITUATION IS THE SAME, AS THE LAWS ARE NOW. THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED OVER TIME.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO US TO SHOW US OUR SINS, AND HE WANTS US TO LIVE BY THEM.
