God's
moral law can be summed up in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17).
These divine commands affect our relationship to God and man. The first
four commandments (Exodus 20:1-11) make it clear that God alone is to be
our God and He is to be honored above everything. Yet man
has bowed to gods of his own making: pleasure, sensuality, materialism,
recreation, self-indulgence, etc. Because of man's violation of God's
laws regarding man's relationship to God, the eternal judgment of God
falls upon him.
The last six
commandments govern man's relationship to his fellow man (Exodus
20:12-17). Jesus Christ clarified the intention of these commands to
show that they refute not simply man's actions towards others, but
even his thoughts and attitudes towards others (see Matthew
5:17-48). While a person may refrain from overt acts of
dishonoring his parents, murdering, adultery, stealing, lying, and
coveting, in his mind he violates all of these commands.
His overt and covert breaching of God's law brings him under the
sentence of divine wrath. A holy, just God cannot fail to
judge man's sin.?Dr.
