Sophia, your catechism question this week is number 104 in the Children's. Of what use are the Ten Commandments to us? And the answer is that they teach us our duty and show our need of a Savior. Now what's very interesting is that in this summary, it is very similar to what do the Scriptures principally teach. The Scriptures principally teach what man is to believe concerning God. and the Savior of which the Ten Commandments teach us is God Himself. We need someone who is as righteous as God and as glorious as God. Not only to be the Savior who pays for our sins because we have sinned against God's glory and who is our righteousness because we need someone who can earn the heaven that has as its essence God's glory, but also Once we have been justified, forgiven, made right with God, we need to be made fit for glory, to be made fit for heaven. And how can our hearts and our minds and our words and our behavior be brought into a state where we would be as holy as Jesus is holy, and the answer is only by Jesus. Now, the Ten Commandments, as they describe for us what love of God looks like, what love of neighbor looks like, and As each commandment implies everything that is required even of our hearts, they show us that we still need a Savior even after we've been forgiven. We need the grace of God to carry us in all of our obedience so that even after the fear of death and hell as Punishments is gone because you have been forgiven in Jesus still as you As you live your life trying to obey the 10 commandments from the heart, you keep realizing, or you should keep realizing, this is something daddy and mommy are still growing in, and everyone that you know on this earth, even the most mature believers are still growing in. We still, all day long, are discovering our continual need for a Savior to work in us in accordance with what He has won and earned for us. So that is what we are to believe concerning God. And of course, the Ten Commandments especially describe to us the duty that God requires of man. And it's a duty that doesn't stop. Once you've been made righteous in the Lord Jesus and forgiven in the Lord Jesus, your duty does not go away. God is still our Creator, and now God is our Redeemer. And so now our duty is doubled and more than doubled, for to have God as Redeemer is even more than to have God as Creator. And so what a blessed gift to us are the 10 Commandments that God has given us, summarizing all of his commands in such a short form. The 10 Commandments teach us our duty and show our need of a Savior. Of what use are the 10 Commandments to us? They teach us our duty and show our need of a Savior.
