Such thinking is likely not caused by an antinomian mindset, but instead stems from the principle that Christians are not under the law but under grace (Romans 6:14). To be clear: Thou shalt not obey the Ten Commandments” (p. For example, in his book Irresistible: Reclaiming the New that Jesus Unleashed for the World, Andy Stanley says, “The Ten Commandments have no authority over you. Some Christians believe the Ten Commandments are not binding upon believers today. The commandments reflect the unchanging character of God, so they-like God-are eternal, timeless, universally applicable, and immutable. Because it summarizes the moral content of God’s law, the Decalogue can be used as a mirror to show people their sin. The Ten Commandments help unbelievers in any age recognize their imperfections. Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, has become for us our Sabbath rest, according to Hebrews 4:1–11.)ĥ) Honor your father and your mother (Ephesians 6:1–2)Ħ) Do not murder (Romans 13:9 1 Peter 4:15)ħ) Do not commit adultery (1 Corinthians 6:9–10)ĩ) Do not give false testimony (Revelation 21:8) In fact, Colossians 2:16 releases the believer from the Sabbath rule. But there is no direct or indirect command for believers in the church age to observe the Sabbath as a day of rest or of worship. (There are many references to the Sabbath day in the New Testament, including the assumption that Jews under the law in the time of Christ would be observing the Sabbath. Here are the Ten Commandments and where they are found in the New Testament:ġ) Do not worship any other gods (1 Corinthians 8:6 1 Timothy 2:5)ģ) Do not misuse the name of the LORD (1 Timothy 6:1)Ĥ) Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
Other times, he references them implicitly, like in 1 Timothy 1:8–10: “But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching” (NASB).
Sometimes, he is explicit in reciting some of the commandments, as he does in Romans 13:9.
Paul references the Decalogue a number of times in his epistles. The only commandment not repeated in the New Testament is the fourth one, the one about Sabbath-keeping. For example, in giving a summary of our moral responsibilities to one another, Jesus repeats four of the Ten Commandments to the young ruler in Mark 10:17–19. Nine of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:1–17 are repeated in the New Testament numerous times in different ways.
