The Ten Commandments: Still Relevant in a New Millennium

Think about the Ten Commandments as the operating manual for successful Christian living. This Bible study examines the relevance of this ancient set of rules in a new millennium. The Ten Commandments: Operating Instructions for the Soul takes a fresh look at each commandment. It can disturbing at times. I may consider myself free from idolatry, but find that my pride or greed has become a God. I may consider myself free of adultery, but my thought life may be far from pure. I may consider myself a righteous person in every way only to discover that I am jealous of the things my neighbor possesses.

However, mastering this simple code of conduct can lead me into a happier, healthier and more secure life. I get my priorities right beginning with placing God first with the first four commandments. Then get my relationships with others right in the last six.

The Ten Commandments provide a foundation for the Christian Life. They reflect, not so much a set of rules to follow (although they are that) as a reflection of what a life controlled by Christ and the Holy Spirit will look like. If my Christian Walk is truly Christ-driven, I will be putting God first in all things, I won't be lying, stealing, killing, seducing or coveting what others have. I'll be honoring my parents. The Ten Commandments then become a checklist of characteristics a truly surrendered Christian life is like.
