In the previous ten articles we took
stock of each of the Ten Commandments. With help from the rest of Scripture, we
reached some surprising conclusions about what these commandments are really
saying. Now it’s time to take the Ten Commandments test: have you kept the Ten
Commandments? Note that if you have broken even one of the Ten Commandments on
one occasion, you fail the test. As it is written in James 2:10, “For whoever
keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of
it.”
