Reflection: God gave us these ten commandments to show us how to live a better life now and to please God forever. God gave these ten commandments from Mount Sinai, accompanied by smoke, earthquakes and trumpets to emphasise the importance of these laws. These laws which are known as the ten commandments are recorded by Moses in Exodus 20, and again in Deuteronomy 5.
These laws which have been given to us, are for our own good and happiness on earth. If we follow them, we must do it out of the love for ourselves and our Creator. Not following these rules will only lead to unhappiness and discontent and failure, but God gives us the free choice to do or not to do them. If we want to show our love for God, all we have to do is to follow his commandments. One thing to remember is if we keep all the commandments but break one of them, we break all because you couldn’t possibly love your neighbor, but steal from him, could you? They are all tied in together one to another so if we’re keeping Gods commandments we must do so wholeheartedly.
God Bless,
