The Ten Commandments are the Covenant, did you know?

If people had never heard of the words ''Ten Commandments, ''a law that is the letter that kills, the ministry of death and condemnation, would they think it a good thing, if God simply placed the knowledge in their mind he did not want them to murder, steal, commit adultery, take His name in vain, lie, covet? And would they think it a good thing if God placed the desire in their hearts not to do those things?
Such things cannot condemn them, for:
Their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more. Not there as law as we all understand law to mean, but it does cut out a licence to sin in having no righteousness of obeying the law.
The believer is not called to look to what is in their heart and mind in this respect and strive to obey it to live a holier life, they look to Christ and trust him, by the power of the Spirit to live an ever holier life. The more they do that, the more the fruits of the spirit grow in their lives(Gal5:22) Against that fruit there is no law, for that fruit is the embodiment of how God wants you to live your life

Jesus told us to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God Mat4:4 faith comes by hearing the word of God Rom10:17 His word is to be the light to our path Psa119:105 going outside is danger Isa8:20 do not lean on our own understanding but trust in the LORD Pro3:5-6 don’t be just hearers of His word deceiving ourself James1:22

I think we need to get out of the mindset that trusting God what He wrote out for us that is perfect for converting our souls Psa19:7 is holy, just and good Rom7:12 is not how we are to live but instead relying on what feels right to us, which will deceive us every time Pro14:12 Jer17:9

Good fruit is peace, righteousness Isa 48:18 Mat 19:17, Psa119:165, 1John3:7

Bad fruit is sin, rebellion, unbelief and disobedience used interchangeably Heb3:7-19

The power of sin is the law 1Cor15:56 The legally binding law with the power to condemn.

But as Paul states, the law, what is written in it is holy, just and good (Rom7:12)

So what was God to do? He obviously would want to remove the power of sin, but he would not want to remove what is holy just and good.
The law comes in two parts, what is written in the law and the attached penalty for transgression. Nothing wrong at all with the first part, it is holy, just and good, its the second part that's the problem

So God did an incredible thing. He transferred applicable law/what is written in it, from an external law engraved in stone, and made it an internal law in the hearts and minds of believers(2Cor3:3&Heb10:15-17)) An external law does not mean you in your heart would want to obey it does it. But a law placed in your heart, does mean in your heart you want to follow it. So, what is holy, just and good remains intact, it is now in your heart and mind. It simply means in your mind you know how God wants you to live and in your heart you want to live that way. In your heart you do not want to murder, steal, commit adultery, covet, take the Lords name in vain etc. Hardly legalism! The law/what is written in the law that is now in your heart and mind cannot condemn you, you have no righteousness of obeying it, for Jesus died for your sins/your transgressions of the law: your sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more

Because, and only because you in your heart want to live as God desires you to live, he removed the penalty attached to the law for transgression from your life. He sent Jesus to die for your sins/your transgressions of the law. Therefore, the legally binding law with the power to condemn is removed from you. And therefore, the power of sin is also now removed from your life.





With the power of sin removed from your life, you can now live a far holier life, a life you in your heart want to live for that is where the law now is. And you can do that because you are not under law/righteousness of obeying the law, but under grace/righteousness of faith in Christ. Christ died to pay the penalty of your sin, and he died to break the power of sin. And so Paul states:

Do we then make void the law by faith/righteousness of faith in Christ not obeying the law? God forbid: Yea, we establish the law Rom3:31

And:

For sin shall no longer be your master for you are not under law/ righteousness of obeying the law, but under grace/righteousness of faith in Christ. Rom 6:14

It’s a grave misunderstanding to call the Ten Commandments the letter that kills, the condemnation etc because the law itself is holy, just and good and perfect for converting our souls Psa19:7 written by our perfect Creator and Redeemer Exo31:18 , the letter that kills is breaking them and going away from how God asked us to live. Sadly the devil has twisted this around that the law is bad and disobedience to God is good. There is no condemnation for those keep the commandments of God John14:14 Exo20:6 Rev14:12 Rev 22:14 as Jesus asked, the condemnation is when we go away from God’s law and establish our own, that is the letter that kills and is sin. Rom6:23 Heb10:26-30 It will never be a sin to subbut to the will of God Psa40:8 2Cor3:3 Heb8:10

And love John14:15

So why is the power of sin the legally binding law with the power to condemn?

Why is the TC the letter that kills, the ministry of death and condemnation?

Well the TC are an inflexible law, thou shalt NOT, no wiggle room for error, perfectly obey the letter of that law or stand guilty before it.

Of course, when Paul made that statement he was holding the law to the pristine level it was set at, and he gave the tenth commandment as the example of why he had to die to the law as he put it, for he could not obey it:

So what happens, if you believe you MUST obey the TC, or the letter of that law will kill?

Someone says to a young teenager

‘’The righteous/justified will obey the TC,

Let us suppose the young teenager is not in ignorance as to what is entailed in obeying the TC, they know no watered down version of them exists. Before them stands the tenth commandment. They must NOT lust/ dwell on any impure thought. What will go through the young teenagers mind?



‘’I must not dwell on any impure thought, if I do it shows I Am not justified before God and will end up in hell’’

Im sure the young man would be petrified of such thoughts, what could you fear more, as a believer than being cast into hell for eternity?

Can you escape thinking of what you fear, or, will thoughts of what you fear consume you? Speaking for myself, when I was young, the more I feared something, the more wild imaginations went through my mind concerning what I feared, and so, concerning the young teenager:

‘’I don’t want to go to hell, I must not dwell on any impure thought, I must not’’



What will be the result? Well it shouldn‘t take much discernment to know. But Paul can explain it. In Rom7:7-11 he is speaking of the time the law came to him, as a thirteen year old, for that is when a young Jewish lad made a personal commitment to God:

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence/sexual desire/passions. For without the law sin was dead. Rom7:7&8

I always thought that was a disease of the eyes, or a form of epilepsy, but I understand what you mean:

As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you, 14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself. 15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. Gal4:13-15

I wouldn't like to be misunderstood. The example I gave of a young teenager would be of someone living under the law, that would be Saul the Pharisee, not Paul the christian. I read the following once, I thought it explained it quite well:
The penalty for sin is in place if you live under the law, isn’t it? Your sin, therefore can condemn you to hell. You would be extremely agitated at the thought of sin. You would be animated, overwrought, disturbed, nervous, and panic stricken even at the thought of sin. Now the more these emotions concerning sin overcome you, the more sin will overwhelm you, and the more your ability to resist sin will weaken. Why is this? Because those emotions bring you to an excited state, friend. They are all bar panic-stricken definitions of the word excite. And the definition of panic-stricken is “frenzy,” and the definition of frenzy is “wild excitement.” The emotions that result from your fear of the penalty for sin bring you to a very excited (or aroused) state where sin is concerned. If you live under the law, therefore, your fear of breaking it (sin) results in sinful passions being aroused in you. That is why Paul tells us the law arouses sinful passions in us if we live under it.

I understand the majority of scholars agree with that. However, when I consider God's treatment of the 'barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides" in Nu 33:55-56, and the plans He had for them, it gives me reservation to fully agree with the generally accepted view. See also Jos 23:13 and Jg 2:3 regarding these being promised to be snares for the Israelites.

All the more reason I view Paul's concern of his 'thorn in the flesh,' in the extent of asking God to take it away. I'm not sure he'd be as concerned with asking for a more 'perfect' body, I mean.

And this is my concern for the effect of those preaching, "you must obey the TC, or else!"

Absolutely, and that is the reason I keep discussing it so much. I know of christian counsellors who have spent much time with people who have ended up in dire trouble due to trying to faultlessly follow ''law''
One in the US told me, half the sex addicts in the country had at one time or another been to ''holiness'' churches as he put it. Of course, I cannot confirm the veracity of his words, but biblically speaking it should not be something to lightly dismiss

The law was good for leading sinners to Christ, but sadly you twist the Gospel around to lead people back to the OC.
The NT teaches that all have sinned, so no one is saved by obeying the law.
I urge you to repent of perverting the Gospel of salvation via faith in Christ.

Sin is breaking the law of God in the NT 1John3:4 James 2:11 Mat5:19-30 same law because God’s righteousness Psa 119:172 Isa 56:1-2 is everlasting Psa 119:142 and is across both Old and New Testament, as God does not change. Mal 3:6 Heb 13:8. It’s not a different God as many people teach in the NT as it is in the OT- same God, same standard of righteousness, same commandments that God promised not to alter Psa89:34 Mat5:19-30. The problem has never been the law of God, Psa19:7 Rom7:12 why its in the Most Holy of God’s Temple under His mercy seat Exo25:21 Rev15:5 Rev11:19 and what man will be Judged by Rev11:18-19 Ecc12:13-14 Mat5:19-30 John12:48 James 2:11-12 , the issue has always been the rebellious heart of man that sadly has not changed Heb3:7-19

Lets break down Isa 56

This is a thus saith the LORD

Salvation for the Gentiles
Isa 56:1 Thus says the Lord:

“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
For My salvation is about to come,
And My righteousness to be revealed.

Click to expand...

This was a future prophecy that is spoken of Christ’s first coming…


Luke 2:30 My eyes have seen Your salvation…
A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles

Jesus Himself is called Salvation and revealed light to the Gentiles

Which Paul echos
Rom 1:16 the gospel… is the power of God to salvation…
Rom 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed

2 Blessed is the man who does this
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

Click to expand...

Jesus is bringing a call to faithfulness and obedience to Him. God blessed the Sabbath day and ordained it from Creation Exo20:11 God blessed us when we keep the Sabbath.

God’s blessings cannot be reversed by man because man is not God. What God blesses stays that way unless we forfeit His blessings through disobedience

Min 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless;
He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

Isa 56:6 Thus says the Lord:
This is speaking of Gentiles

These are Gentiles who join themselves to the Lord which is what God foretold Isaiah which later happened

Acts 11:21 – A great number believed and turned to the Lord
1 Corinthians 6:17 He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him
Ephesians 2:13–19 – Gentiles made near, no longer strangers


We are either a servant of Christ or a servant of another spirit. Mat12:30 The apostles were all servants of Christ and servant of Christ means they follow Christ, hear His words, do them through love, faith and follow in His example. And the next verse plainly tells us what servants of Christ do that love Him and join themselves to Him

They obey Him and keep His Sabbath and not defile it. God made the Sabbath day holy to spend holy and sanctified time with His people so we can join ourselves to Him. His people are in a covenant relationship with Him and have our Fathers laws written in their hearts and minds Exo34:28 Psa89:34 Heb8:10 2Cor3:3 Psa 40:8 Rom7:22 Those who reject this really do not fully understand what they are rejecting. These are words directly from Jesus- He said His Sabbath was made for mankind for everyone and even in the 4th commandment itself it always included Gentiles.

Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.

Scripture interprets ‘holy mountain” spiritually in the New Covenant:

Isaiah 2:2–3 – In the latter days… all nations shall flow to it
Hebrews 12:22 – You have come to Mount Zion… the heavenly Jerusalem
John 4:21–24 – Worship no longer tied to a physical mountain
Thus Isaiah 56 points to New-Covenant worship, not temple geography alone.

Jesus referred to this prophecy in His day of His temple or place of worship Mark 11:17 and restored worship for Jews and Gentiles on the Sabbath. Which we see in the life of the apostles and in the council for the Gentiles. Acts 15:21 Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 18:4etc.

In the New Covenant sacrifices are spiritual. This prophecy cannot be before Christ because…

Jesus spoke of it in His time Mark11:17
Foreigners could not freely minister in the sanctuary Num 18:1–7; Ezek 44:7–9
Access to the altar was restricted by lineage
Gentiles were largely separated Eph 2:11–12 until the Cross Eph 2:13-14

So these are sacrifices that are accepted on Christs alter where He now ministers in His heavenly Temple Heb8:1-5 Rev 15:5 Rev11:19

Rom 12:1 Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
Hebrews 13:10. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat
Rev 5:8 Golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Revelation 8:3–4 prayers of the saints rise from the heavenly altar

God’s promises always come true- the fulfillment because Sabbath-keeping remains for the people of God Heb4:9NIV

The council for the Gentiles:

Acts 15:21 For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.

Acts 13:42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.”

Acts 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

And the true fulfillment of it

Isa 66:22“For as the new heavens and the new earth
Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord,
“So shall your descendants and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

The Sabbath is God’s holy day- God could not be more plain on this and who He made the Sabbath for- mankind and everyone, not to be a yolk, but to spend sacred time with His creation so we can join ourselves to Him, love Him and worship our Creator who made everything. Exo20:11 Rev14:7

Isa 58:13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Mat 4:4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’

The only damning sin is rejection of God's Messiah, which you do not seem to rebel against, sadly.

The primary sin per the NT is ignoring/disbelieving GRFS (Gal. 3:1-14, 1:6-9), and secondary sins are transgression of Christ’s moral law of love (John 13:34), which summarizes the OT moral laws (Matt. 22:37-40) affirmed by the NT (Matt. 5:17-48) and calls them the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23), which does NOT include all 613 laws of Moses, such as those pertaining to mildew and infectious disease in Leviticus 14 or to the Sabbath day (per Col. 2:16-17).

Paul taught that a person may rest on the Sabbath or not (in Col. 2:16, Gal. 4:9-11 & Rom. 14:5), Paul taught that Christ's crucifixion abolished the law and commandments that separated the Jews and Gentiles (Eph. 2:13-16) and Paul taught that the law was powerless to save because of humanity's sinful nature, so God sent His Son and the Holy Spirit to save believers in Christ (Rom. 8:1-17). Hebrews encourages Christians to enter God’s Sabbath rest by persevering faith in Christ's atonement (in Heb. 2:14-4:11).

You keep looking to Paul as the corrector of God when he is highly misunderstood that came with a serious warning 2Peter3:16 instead of looking to Christ as His example we are to follow. 1John2:6 and obey Acts 5:29 Heb5:9 The verses you quoted are all out of context as Paul would never teach against disobeying one of the commandments of God, he taught keeping them is what matters 1Cor7:19 which includes the 4th commandment.

Salvation and sin is not up to you. Unbelief, rebellion, sin and disobedience is used interchangeably in Scriptures Heb3:7-19

Sin is breaking the law of God 1John3:4 James2:11 Mat5:19-30 believing in Him is doing what He asks us to through faith. Unblief is rebellion, disobedience and sin.

Why this is one of the last verses in the Bible…


Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers (Breaking commandment #1 Exodus 20:3) and sexually immoral (breaking commandment #7 Exodus 20:14) and murderers (breaking commandment #6 Exodus 20:13) and idolaters (breaking commandment #2 Exodus 20:4-6), and whoever loves and practices a lie (breaking # 9 Exodus 20:16 or any of the commandments 1 John 2:4) Breaking one we break them all James 2:11-12 Exo 20:1-17 .

The Ten Commandments is God’s personal Testimony Exo 31:18 why its under His mercy seat revealed in heaven Rev 11:19 where one day soon justice and mercy will come together and what did He promise right in the Ten Commandments

Exo 20: 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
