| The great principles of God's law are
embodied in the Ten Commandments and exemplified in the life of Christ. They express God's
love, will, and purposes concerning human conduct and relationships and are binding upon
all people in every age. These precepts are the basis of God's covenant with His people
and the standard in God's judgment. Through the agency of the Holy Spirit they point out
sin and awaken a sense of need for a Saviour. Salvation is all of grace and not of works,
but its fruitage is obedience to the Commandments. This obedience develops Christian
character and results in a sense of well-being. It is an evidence of our love for the Lord
and our concern for our fellow men. The obedience of faith demonstrates the power of
Christ to transform lives, and therefore strengthens Christian witness. |
Ex. 20:1-17.
