The Law of God is also referred to as the “decalogue,” “God’s Law” or “The Ten Commandments.” In some places you might see them displayed on signs, murals or sculptures in yards, on church walls, or on statues and buildings.
They are some of the oldest moral guidelines known to man. The law of God was first written down in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.
These 10 commandments are found in Exodus 20 and have served as a moral blueprint for humanity to live a life of freedom, respect and virtue for many generations.
The first few commandments help us maintain a healthy relationship with God, and the rest guide our relationships with other humans. They are a way for humanity to express our devotion and obedience to God, and a way for God to express His will and character to us.
The purpose of God’s Law
BELIEF 19: THE LAW OF GOD
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, and its fruit is obedience to the Commandments. This obedience develops Christian character and results in a sense of well-being. It is evidence of our love for the Lord and our concern for our fellow human beings. The obedience of faith demonstrates the power of Christ to transform lives, and therefore strengthens Christian witness.
