Dear newborn2007. God gave us the 10 Commandments for our own good, if we follow them, we will have rewards, and if we ignore, or even go against them, we will have to pay consequences. In time Jesus came came, and showed us God, as He really is, our loving Heavenly Father, who wants us back again. Jesus died, that we might live, Jesus reconciled us to God. Jesus is our Saviour, and Jesus is The Way, back to God. Jesus gave us 2 Commandments, they contain ALL what God told us in His 10 Commandments. 1) Love God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds. 2) Love our neighbour as we love ourselves. Jesus told a learned Lawyer " on these 2 Commandments hang all the Law and all the Prophets. " These Commandments are easy to remember, but they are not easy to follow perfectly, men and women ( myself included) are selfish and inclined to look after Numbre One, ourselves and perhaps our loved ones. Yet we have been given years to learn, we have Jesus who will help and guide us, and we have God who will forgive us every time we stumble or fail, if we ask sincerely, and forgive others as God has, and will forgive us. Jesus will give us His Love, His Joy and His Peace, to share with each other, and we will find that life can be filled with Joy and abundance, as Jesus promised us. We will only find out if we give it a try. I say this humbly and with love, newborn2007. Greetings from Emmy, sister in Christ.
