10 commandments -- WHY?!

Sometimes we don’t want rules. We just want to be able to do whatever we feel like in the moment, but I heard a fantastic illustration today from a podcast out of Transformation Church in the U.S.

God has given us His Word to live by, just as parents give rules to their children to live by. It’s for their benefit, for their success, for their health and for GOOD.

This is gonna be short and sweet. But just think, God’s Word is for us not against us, just in the same way that we raise children to wear seatbelts, to wash their hands, and to not fall over the stairs by putting up a gate. God is doing the same for us in His Word as He guides us on the path of Truth and FULL life.

Let’s approach God’s Word with an eagerness to obey, not a hesitancy, knowing that His Word is FOR us.
