God's Commandments For Christians#310
Those who support the right of homosexuals to live their life style openly would never call homosexuality a sin.Those who are in favor of killing babies in the womb never call it murder. On the other hand, there is the moral law of God summarized in the Ten Commandments. This law is very unpopular. After all, who does God think he is by imposing His standards of morality on us? This is the ultimate in arrogance! Man telling God what to do. Many who call themselves Christians are of the same mentality. They really believe that the Ten Commands are for a bygone era. They use as a basis a verse in Romans 6:14 which says, "You are not under law, but under grace." But the Bible is not saying that the Ten Commandments are passé. The Bible is telling us that we do not earn our way to heaven by keeping the commandments. We must trust in Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect life while on this earth. We must trust in His good works, not our own. We are all sinners. We need forgiveness. But those who are truly forgiven through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ go on to display love for God. They love God because God first loved them in the sacrifice of His Son. How do these people display their love for God? Listen: "This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome" (1 John 5:3). On other words, you show God you love him by doing what he commands. If you think that God's commandments are too much of a burden, you are not a Christian. Listen again, "The one who says, "I have come to know him [that is God], and does not keep His commandments, is a liar' " (1 John 2:4).
