The Ten Words or commandments are God's holy instructions for how we are to live as those made by Him and for His glory so that we might enjoy Him. The glory of God is seen in His law, and His holiness is represented in the Ten Commandments. In order to possess a lingering fear and awe of God we must not jettison His law, but keep it near to our hearts that we might live according to it, that it may go well with us and that we might live long in the Land He has prepared for us.
