Week 7 – The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments

Saeyoung Park, G101

One of the church’s favorite questions to ask is, “What is God’s will for my life?” What we often mean by this is: what career does He want me to pursue, or who does He want me to marry, or where does He want our family to live and serve? In other words, when we think of God’s “will” we think of it as a subjective personal leading; the special purpose and future that God has in store for me in particular that I must therefore discover. And yet when Scripture speaks of God’s “will”, it more often than not refers to something much more clear, objective, and applicable to the whole body of Christ, namely His commands. What this means is that we cannot possibly know God’s will for our lives unless we know God’s commands. Thankfully, we have a summary of all of God’s commands (and will) in the Decalogue. Join us as we walk through the Ten Commandments to better understand how God calls us to live and love.
