Do you not think that possibly it could?
Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
To me the above commands sum up the 10 given to Moses in 2.
Jesus took it further as well by telling us to love our enemies.
You are right in that we cannot obey the 10 commandments perfectly, break one you break them all (hope I'm right with that)
The heart of the matter to comes down to love.
Gods love for us which is Agape.
lets be honest we cannot love God as much as he loves us.
When Jesus asked Peter (the first 2 times) do you love me he used Agape to which Peter replied with Phileo.
The 3rd time Jesus asked do you Phileo me?
So it seems Jesus accepted Peter at the Phileo level of love but we all know Peter died for his love of Jesus which I would say is Agape.
I think when people know Jesus what they see is love and it's that love that should drive us.
Moving us more and more into Agape.
The feeling I get about people and the ten commandments is they take the if I break one
small point of these commandments I break them all, and then just give up.
The commandments are about fellowship with God and the desire we have to spend time
with Him and be transformed. There may never be a true point of perfection as we understand
it, but there is always transformation and blessing, life flowing through us and us desiring how
to love more deeply.
For me to feel I have arrived is something I am not looking for, rather what is the next issue
I need to work on. When we begin to grasp we reap what we sow, this is such a optimistic
reality. If we sow to the Spirit we reap victory, insight, strength, victory, so even if our
past is full of bad things, mistakes, failure, God is promising us a new road and a new place
of blessing that is so different. It is this promise that drives me forward, because in all things
I can never see the blessing I am to others, only that which is the next step in Him.
I remember when disappointment and hurt used to bind me, that I would be shy at sharing,
when His word seemed strange and closed. But we are called to be victorious, to rejoice in Him
and the Holy Spirit and to know real blessing. And if we walk in faith, He does not disappoint.
