Did God or Moses write the Ten Commandments? Were the Ten Commandments first given at Mt. Sinai or in the very beginning in Eden? Were the Ten Commandments written into stone by God’s own finger? What did God instruct Moses to build to hold the stone tablets? Are the Ten Commandments a part of the New Covenant? Did Jesus teach the Ten Commandments? Were the Ten Commandments only temporary until Jesus came? Did the early Church observe them? Is it necessary to keep the Commandments in order to be saved? Is it necessary to keep all the Commandments. Is there teaching in the New Testament Scriptures which show a change in Commandment observance? Why did God give the Ten Commandments? Are the Ten Commandments a part of the Gospel message? Does faith in Christ make the Commandments void? Is the Devil pleased when he sees New Testament Christians keep the Commandments? Bible Translation: NASV
Jesus said that the Ten Commandments were based upon love toward God and love toward our fellow man. The first four Commandments show man’s obligation to God, and the last six show man’s obligation to man. Jesus taught that all the Commandments were summed up in loving God with all our heart, and loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. Does God expect Christians to live by this standard? DEFINITIONS Idol: Usually a graven or carved image which represents a perceived god. According to Scripture, an idol can be anything which one puts before the true God. For example, the Bible says that greed is a form of idolatry.Vain: As in taking God’s Name in vain. In its broadest sense it means to take lightly. To use God’s Name in an irreverent way. God has revealed His character and nature through His Names. It is through His Names that we understand that He is. . .our Savior, . . .our Sacrifice,. . .our Deliverer, . . .our Healer, . . .our Provider, etc. Therefore, to take His salvation, sacrifice, healing, etc, lightly, is to take His Name in vain. Covet: To wish that something which belongs to another belonged to you. To covet is an unlawful desire which is motivated and driven by selfishness which is the enemy of love. Ark of the Covenant: A wooden box overlaid with gold which God instructed Moses to build to hold the two tablets of stone. Its top, called the “Mercy Seat” represented the Throne of God and was made of pure gold. “Ark of the Covenant” simply means a “box to hold the terms of a Covenant.” Covenant: A covenant is an agreement between two or more parties. When you purchase a house or perhaps an automobile you enter into an covenant agreement with the seller. He agrees to certain terms of the sale and you agree to certain terms of the sale. If either party violates the terms of the agreement they can be held liable. In this case the contract is ratified by the signature of both parties. In the Case with the Sinai Covenant and the 613 Laws written upon animal skins, it was ratified by the blood of sacrificed animals. In the case of the New Covenant (Abraham’s Covenant), it was ratified by the sacrificial blood of Jesus.
DID THE COMMANDMENTS EXIST BEFORE SINAI? 1. Did people know the Ten Commandments from the beginning of creation? 1 John 3:4 / Romans 6:23 / Romans 5:12, 17-19 / Genesis 2:1-3 / Genesis 4:1-7 / Romans 1:18-25 / Genesis 6:5-13 / 2 Peter 2:5 / Genesis 7:5 / Genesis 9:1 / 2 Peter 2:5, 6 / 2 Peter 2:6-8 / Jude vs 7 Answer_______________ ❖ What is God’s definition of sin? _______________________________ Scripture__________ ❖ What are the wages of sin? __________ Scripture__________ ❖ Why has everyone died since the beginning? _________________ Scripture__________ ❖ Did sin enter the world through Adam, the first man? __________ Scripture__________ ❖ When do we first see the fourth Commandment in Scripture? _________________ Scripture__________ ❖ Did Adam’s son, Cain know it was a sin to murder his brother Abel? __________ Scripture__________ ❖ Paul told the Romans that man once knew God but exchanged the truth of God for a _______ Scripture__________ ❖ As result of this, did they begin to worship images of created things? __________ Scripture__________ ❖ Did God destroy the world with a flood? __________ Scripture__________ ❖ Why did God spare Noah and his family? _____________________________ Scripture__________ ❖ The Apostle Peter called Noah a preacher of _________________ Scripture__________ ❖ Did Noah do all that God Commanded him to? __________ Scripture__________ ❖ Is every living person today a descendant of Noah, who was obedient and righteous? __________ Scripture__________ ❖ Peter wrote that the flood came upon the ___________ Scripture__________ ❖ Peter said that the flood was an example to those who would _______ungodly_______thereafter Scripture__________ ❖ Righteous Lot was tormented by the __________ __________of the citizens of Sodom Scripture__________ ❖ Jude wrote that these people indulged in __________ ____________ Scripture__________ ❖ Lot was a righteous man living among sinners who practiced lawlessness. God’s judgment was terrible indeed as He rained down fire from heaven to destroy the wicked inhabitants of the city. To practice “lawless deeds” means that they had been defying a standard of Law set by God. If Lot knew these Sodomites were lawless, isn’t it reasonable to believe that they knew that they were not trying to live in obedience to the true God?_______ Commentary: By these Scriptures alone, we see that God had revealed the second, the fourth , the sixth and the seventh Commandments long before He gave them to Moses at Mt. Sinai. Isn’t it reasonable to assume that God had given them the other Commandments to have “no other gods”, to “honor and obey parents”, to “not falsely accuse”, etc, as well? During Noah’s time the world was filled with sin, so one must ask -“what righteous standard was Noah preaching?” For 120 years he preached a message of righteousness with a call for all sinners to repent and be saved from the coming flood. Obviously, the inhabitants of the earth were living contrary to the standard which God had set for them. And one must ask, -“What righteous standard were the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah violating?”

Jesus taught that whoever relaxes even the least of the Commandments would be ranked least in the Kingdom, and told His followers that if they loved Him to keep the Commandments. The true Christians living during the Tribulation are those identified as holding the testimony of Jesus and Keeping the Commandments of God.
