The Ten Commandments. God’s Instruction Manual for Life預覽
What must I do to inherit eternal life?
In Luke 18, we read how a ruler comes to Jesus and asks him what he must do to inherit eternal life. Initially, Jesus answers him according to the accepted social norms, namely by listing some of the ten commandments. The man answers that he has kept these from his youth. But Jesus points out that his full devotion to God is hindered by his money. This man is not ready to give up his wealth to follow Jesus.
Following God’s commandments is good. But our attempts to obey them perfectly will not be enough to inherit eternal life. Jesus offers a different solution: you need to believe in Him and become a follower of Him. He has come to perfectly keep and fulfill all the law — in your place. As Romans 3:21-22 explains: “But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it — the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.”
You should not try to earn God’s favor by obeying his commandments. Instead, you can be “justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”.

關於此計劃
God gave the Israelites instructions on how to serve Him and how to treat fellow people. These “ten commandments” were like a constitution designed by God Himself, meant for his glory and the well-being of the people. They are still a valuable guideline for our life with God and with other people. This Reading Plan studies all ten commandments and the summary that Jesus gave us.
