The Ten Commandments are still of relevance for us today, not as a moral code or a set of requirements by which we can please God, but as a summary of the whole law of God. That law was then summarised again by Christ – “Love God totally and love your neighbour as yourself.” The Ten Commandments fit within the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, and by taking them out of that context so as to make them into an independent moral code, we distort what they are and conceal their meaning. It is only when we see the Ten Commandments as a call to faith in God and love for neighbours do we truly understand them.
