Far from enslaving us to a system of rules, the summary of God’s law found in the Ten Commandments actually brings true freedom. It frees us from ignorance of God’s holy character, frees us from the self-deception of our own sin, and frees us through Christ to live a life of fruitful obedience to His commands. This overview of the Ten Commandments will set the stage for a closer look at how each commandment transforms our lives through the grace that is found in Christ.
