What would our world be without rules? What if there were no commandments? Then what would our rules of society be based on?
1. We would be our own Gods or we would make Gods out of anything or anyone.
2. We could worship things made from gold, brass, metal, wood or other materials.
3. We could talk about the Creator anyway and make jokes about Him.
4. We would work ourselves sick or chose a day of man's choosing for rest and refreshing.
5. Children could disrespect and disregard their parents authority.
6. You could kill anyone who made you angry or just because you do not like them.
7. You can take your friend's or neighbor's husband or wife.
8. You can take another person's property if you wanted it.
9. You could lie when it suited your purposes.
10. You could envy or covet the belongings of other people (which would lead to #6,#7 or #8).
Think about it, if the commandments were nailed to the cross, then why are we bothering to live by any of them. We should just be doing what we want, whenever we want and for whatever reason we want. Our society would be a very unhappy place. We would be scared all the time and there would be no peace. Our world would be worst than it is now--like it was in the days before the flood.
The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. (Genesis 6:5,11,12)
