Have you ever taken on open book test before? That is what the Ten Commandments are for, they establish the things to do as well as what not to do in order to make it back home, and to pass the test, We all have the answers now what do we do next? That is right use and live them.

The 10 commandments are a part of the "Law" that was given to the Israelites after their exit from Egypt. Their significance as well as that of the remainder of the law in the simplest answer is they define sin for us.

St. Paul, in Romans ch. 7, seems to be saying that God gave the ten commandments in order that people would realize how sinful they were, because they would then see that they could not live up to God's standards. For instance, in Romans 7:7, Paul says that he would not have realized that coveteousness was a sin, if the commandments had not said so. He goes on to say that he would never have known how sinful he was if the commandments had not defined what was sinful. When he realized his sinfulness, he also realized that he had no hope of redemption through his own power. That led him to despair, but then ultimately to faith in Jesus, who promised redemption as a free gift. So, in Paul's view, the Ten Commandments are intentionally designed to be impossible, thus forcing you to seek out God personally and finding redemption through His mercy alone.

With respect to the fact that this is the Jewish section, and the Jewish people do not hold the beliefs that I do, I, as a Christian, believe that the Ten Commandments serve as the standard of God's goodness and as a mirror to us so that we can see ourselves, our sinfulness, and our need of a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope that this is helpful. -In the Master's service. Thank you and God bless you!

The Ten Commandments represent the fundamental principles that Jewish law is based upon. The first Commandment calls for belief in G-d, and is the motivation behind all the "do's" of Judaism (i.e. once you believe in Him, you do what He commands). The second commandment forbids idolatory, and serves as the basis for all the "don'ts" of Judaism (i.e. doing something against what He commands is a form of idol-worship, giving something other than G-d prominence in your life). These Ten Commandments were presented on two tablets. On closer examonation, you'll notice that the first five relate to the relationship one has with G-d, while the next five (on a separate Tablet) refer to the relationship one has with other people. The message there is that Jewish law gives equal emphasis to one's responsibilities to service of G-d and to treating people properly.
