We're told to follow the 10 Commandments, but when we try we find we cannot keep them. The Commandments are there to show how much we need God.  Jesus fulfilled the Law in His death, burial and resurrection. Therefore, we live in gratitude to God for His Grace in allowing us to live righteously through the power of His Holy Spirit.

Dr. Crawford Loritts warns that grace has been abused and law has been minimized. We have some wrong assumptions about the place of the law in the Christian life and the place of grace in the Christian life.  God is the same in the Old Testament as He is in the New Testament.  The standards are the same. How God relates to us, having maintained His standard, is different.
