One argument against following the Ten Commandments is that they are not
relevant in today's world. And I will agree with that 100%. Wait,
don't leave. Hear me out.
Watch TV, listen to radio, surf the web, watch your co-workers
and fellow-students. This is all evidence that we as a people have done
everything we can to remove the relevance of the Ten
Commandments from our
society.
As much as we may personally love and honor them, you have to
admit that society is on the fast track to destroy them from all public
record.
But, back to the relevance issue. Are they? Well,
of course they are. They are , were and always will be relevant and
more. They are the way the LORD our
GOD
fashioned people to behave.
The
LORD has given us a
Conscience! Picture it like this. If the Conscience were a computer, the
Ten Commandments would be the Operating System. Violate the Operating
System and you will get a Blue Screen Error notifying you that you have
Performed an Illegal Operation (Macintosh users must talk to a Windows
user to understand this analogy).
If not for the fall of Adam, we would live every second of our
lives in full accordance with them! And would that be a better life than
the one we are now living? Would this world be a bit higher in quality
if governed by the FATHER'S
Commands.
Of course it would. But that will never happen in this
age. True, but I have good news and good hope! As we put the Ten
Commandments into effect in our own lives, we make little pockets of Eternity
around us.
That is where I want to live - in a pocket of Eternity!
How about you?
