Mark 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
Jesus names 5 of the ten commandments given on the tablet of stones to Moses. These commandment address how man is to treat others. Avoid sexual immorality, Don’t hate or harbor a desire to kill a human being, Don’t take that which does not belong to you, Always tell the truth, and respect those in authority over you. Such is the implications given to us is the way a godly person should live. But God’s commandments is not in the things we do or not do, but it is what is written on our hearts. The new commandment of God is focus on how we treat others and how respect live in the eyes of God. Yes, He has “things” that we should not be doing, and if we love Him, we will not do them. But his commandments go way beyond rules, regulations and rituals. His commandments abide in us and us in Him.
