During their stay at St. Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and The Law. The ten commandments summarize all of the laws. Jesus revealed many years later, that God was interested in the heart and spirit of the law and he explained the full depth of the law and how impossible it was for man to fulfill it. Only Jesus was able to fulfill the law, whose length and depth covered the breath of human sin. Sin had to be atoned for. The law was given to reveal the power of sin, while Jesus came to give us authority over sin. Jesus came to atone for sin and empower us to live an abundant life.
