The Ten Commandments of God through Moses


Interpreted with present-day words


Foreword

Why can’t the world as it is give us any peace? Because it does not consist of selfless love, but of selfish love. People have to change their ways by developing the inner love, the selfless love. Then this hard world so lacking in peace will gradually be refashioned. The Ten Commandments indicate the way, because they are excerpts from the absolute law of the heavens, the divine law of selfless love

The fullness of what is found in the Ten Commandments opens up for the person who step by step fulfils these commandments from the eternal law, letting them come alive in His thinking and doing. The following text delineates the breadth and depth of the Ten Commandments. At the same time it shows how the Original Christians in Universal Life, the Christ-friends, try to apply concretely the Ten Commandments in all situations of daily life.

 

"The Ten Commandments of GOD"

"The letter comes alive only when the person begins to fulfil the commandments. Through this, he gradually grows into the all-encompassing law of love and life. Only the one who fulfils the laws with his heart and in the spirit of love will recognize the all-encompassing law and so find his way to the truth, which is within, in the soul of man."
from:"This Is My Word"

Also available as a book "The Ten Commandments of GOD" from Verlag DAS WORT.
