Let's go through them and see how well you do.
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Have you always put God first in your life? Jesus said
to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.
So much, that your love for your parents, brothers and
sisters, friends, and even your own life is like hatred
compared to your love and devotion for God. Have you ever
failed to put God first in your life?
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth:
Who is God to you? Is he only a god of love and mercy
who would never judge anyone and never cast anyone into
Hell? If that is your God, then you're right. Your god
couldn't cast anyone into hell because he doesn't exist.
He's a figment of your imagination. You've created a god
in your own mind that you're more comfortable with. You
may call it your "personal belief," but God
calls it idolatry. It's the oldest sin in the Book, and
the Bible warns that idolaters will not inherit the kingdom
of heaven.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy
God in vain;
Have you ever used God's name as a curse word? If you
have, you've taken the holy name of God who gave you
your life, your family, and everything precious to you--
and used it as a filthy, four-letter word. Hilter's name
wasn't even despised enough to be used as a curse word!
If you have used God's holy name in the manner, you are
a blasphemer and the Bible says "God will not hold
him guiltless who takes the name of the Lord in vain."
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
God commands that we set aside one day in seven. Have you
ever been guilty of breaking this Commandment?
5. Honour thy father and thy mother:
Have you always honored your parents in a way that's pleasing
in the sight of God? Ask Him to remind you of the sins
of your youth. You may have forgotten them, but God hasn't.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
Jesus warned "Whoever is angry with his brother without
cause, is in danger of judgement," (Matthew 5:22) and
the Bible
says, "He who hates his brother is a murderer,"
(1 John 3:15). God sees hatred in the heart to be as wicked
as murder. We
can violate His Law by attitude and intent.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Jesus warned, "You have heard..'.You shall not commit
adultery,' But I say to you that whoever looks at a women
to lust for her has already committed adultery with her
in his heart. Have you ever looked at another person with
lust? The Bible says that adulterers and fornicators (those
who have had sex before marriage) will not enter the kingdom
of heaven.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
Have you ever stolen anything (even if it was something
small)? The value of the thing stolen doesn't matter; petty
theft is
still theft. Have you ever taken anything that belonged
to someone else (from the office, school, parents, etc.)?
If you have,
that makes you a thief.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbor.
Have you ever told a lie? Then you are a liar. How many
murders do you have to commit to be a murderer? Just one.
If
you have told even one lie, that makes you a liar. The Bible
warns that all liars will have their part in the Lake of
Fire
(Revelation 21:8). You may not think deceitfulness is a
serious sin, but God does.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s
house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife,
nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor
his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
This means we should never desire anything that belongs
to another person. Not their house, nor their car, nor their
money, nor their wife, nor their lifestyle, nor anything
that belongs to our neighbor.
Did you answer Guilty of breaking any
of these Commandments?
In Romans 3:23 it says: "For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;".
Does the fact that you sinned against God scare
you? It Should.
The Bible says His wrath abides on you, that you are an
Enemy of God in your mind through wicked works.
God will punish all the rapists, murderers, thieves, liars,
adulterers, idolaters and blasphemers. The punishment will
to be placed in Hell forever.
The Good News
Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins. That's past, present and future sins.
Do you see God's great love for you? Do you see your need
for His forgiveness? Acts 3:19 says "Repent ye therefore,
and be converted, that your sins
may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord;".
In John 14:6 Jesus says: "I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Now that we have discovered that you are a sinner bound
for Hell, isn't it time you surrender your life to Jesus
Christ?
Don't put it off for another second Get
Saved now.
