The Ten Commandments (An Overview

God was so good to all people and so he gave Moses the laws which will guide the Israelites on how they will be able to live in peace and with love . His begotten son followed the same rules and in return , he asked his followers to obey the same set of rules so that everyone will live in goodness . The Ten Commandments were written in stone tablets given to Moses by the Lord God in Mt . Sinai

It was him who is the God of all humans

The remaining laws were (4 ) Honor your father and mother (5 ) You shall not kill (6 ) You shall not commit adultery (7 ) You shall not steal (8 ) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour (9 ) You shall not covet your neighbour 's wife and the last one (10 ) You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbour .
