Is it all 10 of the commandments that we should keep or the ones we think are enough to please God?

[darrylbradfordjr]

Remember God's moral law, the Ten Commandments was given to show that we are all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The law is given to show us our sin and then lead us to Christ for salvation so that we can repent and place our trust in Jesus Christ to be cleansed of all of our sins. Check out Galations 3:24

[darrylbradfordjr]

So to try to keep the commandments as "works" to save us is wrong because it is only by God's grace we are saved through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). But rather after someone puts there faith alone in Jesus Christ for their salvation and repents of their sins to God, then as an expression of gratitude for what the Savior has done for us, then obeying God and pleasing HIM will be our heart's desire

i prayerfully hope that helps answer your question

In love,

Darryl

Also read Romans 13: 8-10 ...I came across it this morning. Hope it helps!

It is written in the Holy Scriptures that we are to love God with all our mind soul and strength... and to love our neighbor as ourselves (on these two hang all the law and prophets) and Romans 13: 8-10 describes love for neighbor, but where can we find how we should love God?

[darrylbradfordjr]

well i think you may have answered your own question in that we are to love God with all our mind soul and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves...in these things we are showing that we love God. By repenting of our sins, continuing to trust and place our faith in Jesus, witnessing and spreading the Gospel, helping others and etc. There are numerous ways to display our love for God that aligns with God's word. I don't know if that helps or not. What are your thoughts about the subject?

[NigmaticProdigy]

I believe that God's word is truth, and that I am to live by His word in order to be close to Him. We are all cursed by sin, which keeps us far from Him, and it is through the 10 commandments that we realize that we have sinned and come short or His glory and are in need of His saving grace which was provided to us through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus.

[NigmaticProdigy]

In The Holy Scriptures God inspired Moses to write ordinances for His people to live by, and Jesus affirmed them by commanding us to "Love our neighbors as ourselves" while reaffirming the greatest commandment "Love God with all your mind soul and strength". He paid the ultimate sacrifice so we no longer have to pay pennants, and He became our mediator to the Father through prayer.

[NigmaticProdigy]

So being convicted of sin through the 10 commandments, I repent and give my heart totally over to the Father accepting His wonderful gift of salvation through His Son, and following His guidelines of how to live in the Bible, which is the way of true love that is unconditional and Godly.
