The Bible tells us that "sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4, King James Version). The fundamental laws of God were summarized for us in the Ten Commandments, which you can read in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. (We also offer a free booklet that explains these titled The Ten Commandments.)
The ancient Israelites were told that if they obeyed those laws, everything would go well for them and their new nation would be truly blessed in every conceivable way. But they were also warned that if they disobeyed those laws, negative consequences would surely follow.
Do these promises and warnings apply in our personal lives and on the
world scene today?
Many people, ignorant of these laws, have learned the hard way that breaking them, even without knowing them, carries a penalty. For example, the Seventh Commandment says, "You shall not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14). Millions of people have broken this law and learned to their regret that the negative consequences are often endless, leaving a trail of devastated and miserably unhappy lives.
