Summary: We Keep God's Commandments - The Ten Commandments are much more than just a list of do's and don'ts. The commandments are a gift from God for forming a community. The commandments show us today, just as it showed the Israelites in Moses time, how to be human according to God's purpose. The commandments create a community of people who share one another's values and expectations. Their way of living makes God visible in the world and reveals who human beings are meant to be.
