DO YOU KNOW THE REAL REASON GOD GAVE US THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? God is Holy and we are not. The bad news is that the penalty for our unholy behavior is not merely death, but eternal death in hell. The good news: if we would acknowledge this & accept Jesus Christ's forgiveness, we can be saved. But here's the cosmic dilemma: we don't want to admit our unholiness, let alone call upon the Name of the Lord! So how is a Supernatural Multi-dimensional Infinite Holy God going to communicate this problem to tiny finite unholy human beings? Here's how: He uses an external teaching tool called the Ten Commandments, which are not merely a mode of behavior. They exist to show us our need of a Savior. It's God's 10-step testing procedure designed to reveal His Holiness & our sinfulness; they are, No other gods, No Idols, No Using God's Name in Vain, No Breaking the Sabbath, No Dishonoring Your Parents, No Murder, No Adultery, No Stealing, No Lying & No Coveting. If we are ever going to get our society back on track, we've got to remember their purpose. Why? Because no external law can change man's internal heart. That is what our country has totally forgotten! What we need is God! And this is what God's been trying to remind us of with His Ten Commandments. The whole reason our nation is going to hell is because we're telling God to do the same, by trying to get rid of His Ten Commandments.
