YOU CANNOT LIVE BY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND EXPERIENCE TRUE AND GENUINE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
Friends
There are some Christians who believe that.Yes we are saved without the ten commandments but now we have to look to the ten commandments for guidance.This is not true.Going back to the ten commandments is actually a downgrade.The ten commandments were not meant to guide christians on how to live their lives.
According to the bible,the ten commandments are there simply to prove to human beings that they CANNOT match up to God's standards of Holiness.(Romans 3 20,Galatians 3 19,20)That's it.Once you are a believer,the old covenant/ten commandments become"obsolete"(Heb 8 13)
So how are we supposed to live life without the ten commandments?The same way Abraham did.The same way Joseph did.They both had a relationship with our heavenly Daddy without the ten commandments and the fruits were awesome.If anyone in the bible apart from Christ is termed as righteous,it is Abraham and what about Joseph,he resisted potiphar's wife without referring to the commandment because it did not exist yet.
Friends,Jesus warns us about abiding by Moses stating that"Moses will accuse you,if you have your hopes set on Him"John 5 45.The instructions from the Mt of Transfiguration was to "Hear Him(Jesus Christ)and not Moses(the law) or Elijah(prophets and law restorers)
Finally,the Law is not of Faith.You cannot live by the law and expect to experience the presence and power of Christ because if you bring your focus on living by the ten commandments,you "alienate or cut yourself off"from Christ(Galatians 5 4).
God cannot allow Christianity to be similar to other religions where people expect blessings because of the good they do.No,In true Christianity,we get and experience good we dont deserve because God Himself is good,too good to punish us for our mistakes that He offers us Christ as the substitute and receive of all the curses,condemnation,guilt and shame our sins of a lifetime deserve.
Embrace the relationship and do not base your life on rules and restrictions.There is so much more to Christianity than religion depicts.
