The commandments are a gift. Maybe not in the way most people think. But they bring us to Christ.I love the commandments of God because they represent love and God is love. (1 John 4:8)
Yes, they cannot produce love, but they tell us what love is.
They come from God and they are good.
James 1:17 says "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
Good post.
