If you could not already name them before you read the list, you need to hide them in your heart. Go ahead, try to name them without looking at the list. Were you able to do it? The ten commandments are a great tool given to us by God to show the unbeliever that he or she cannot cling to his or her "good" works, but must forsake their sin and trust in the goodness of the savior Jesus!


Romans 3:19-20
"Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin."
