How do we know the Ten Commandments are still relevant today?

Answered in 1 source

The Ten Commandments remain relevant as they reveal God's unchanging character and moral expectations, serving to highlight our need for Christ.

The relevance of the Ten Commandments today is anchored in their divine origin and purpose. They are not merely historical artifacts but reflect God's eternal moral law, which serves as a standard for how we are to live in relation to Him and others. Reformed theology asserts that while the ceremonial aspects of the law have been fulfilled in Christ, the moral principles remain applicable as they point to the character of God. This moral law is not a means of salvation but rather a guide for grateful living in response to God's grace. Thus, the Ten Commandments remain significant in informing our moral understanding and fostering a deeper relationship with our Creator through Jesus Christ.
