There are Moral Absolutes

  There are Moral Absolutes 

The Psalmist writes,

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.” Psalm 111:10.

Whether we like to admit it there are moral absolutes in this world. Most prominent among them is the ten commandments. Listed in Exodus 20:6-17. Put simply they say,

1/You shall have no other gods before Me.

2/You shall make no idols.

3/You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

4/Keep the Sabbath day holy.

5/Honour your father and your mother.

6/You shall not murder.

7/You shall not commit adultery.

8/You shall not steal.

9/You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

10/You shall not covet.

These are at the very least what God expects individuals to live up to. That being said the more we read the Bible the more we find what God requires of us.

Are you following Gods precepts?

  Please think about it.
