In his sermon on the mount, Jesus said in Matthew 5:17

"Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the
law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to fulfill them”.

Christ consistently upheld the 10 commandments as given in the Old

Testament. The only answer to having broken the commandments of
God is true repentance.

Jesus continued his explanation of the commandment by saying:

I assure you, until heaven and earth disappear, even the smallest detail of
God's law will remain until its purpose is achieved. So if you break the
smallest commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be the
least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God's laws and
teaches them will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5:18-19

Some of the final words in the Bible speak of the blessings given to
those who have kept the commandment.

Blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have right to
the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
The only way to God is through Christ. Do as Jesus did and follow
His clear message to keep and honor God’s commandments. Rev.22:14

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in
the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and
shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.

Acts 15:20
But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols,
and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

 Commandment 3

Deut. 5:11
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord
will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

Matthew 5:33-37
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou
shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the
city of the great King.

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou can not make one
hair white or black. But let your communication be, yea, yea; nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as
well as thou.

And remember that thou was a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the
Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a
stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep
the Sabbath day.

whatsoever thou might be profited by me;
And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye
made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people

parents.

full of blessing."

Thou shall not kill.

Matthew 5:21-22
"You have heard that the Law of Moses says, 'Do not murder. If you
commit murder, you are subject to judgment.' But I say, if you are angry

you are in danger of being brought before the high council. And if you
curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.

husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no

committing adultery if she married another man. But if her husband dies,
she is free from that law and does not commit adultery when she
remarries.

Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual
sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,
thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers—none of
these will have a share in the Kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will
produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts,
eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic
activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish
ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in
your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds
of sin.
Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life
will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22
Ephes. 5:3-5
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you.
Such sins have no place among God's people.

Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you.
Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.

You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit
the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is really an
idolater who worships the things of this world.

To ask Jesus to come into your heart please pray this Prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
I ask you to forgive me of my sins and coming into my heart. I
accept you as savior and will follow you as Lord. Amen.
