FAQs Mondays: "What Do We Do with the Ten Commandments?"

Last week, we answered the question, "What do the last six commandments teach us?" You can read that post here.  This week we finish our look at the commandments.

Can anyone keep these Ten Commandments?

Nobody since the fall of Adam, except Jesus, ever did or can keep the Ten Commandments perfectly. Note: Younger children can be prompted to give a shorter answer like, "No one, except Jesus."

Of what use are the Ten Commandments?

They teach us our duty and show us our guilt and our need of a Savior.

What do we do with the commandments? We learn from them. They teach us of God's expectations of humanity and humanities inability to meet those expectations. The commandments drive us to seek shelter in Jesus Christ. Next week, we move on to part 3 which deals with salvation. We will seek to answer the big question, "How do we get saved?" Feel free to comment. I would love to hear from you.
