New book release: Brief Study of the Ten Commandments, by Martin Murphy, ISBN 9780991481163, 164 pages, $10.95
- AUTHOR EXPLAINS THE DOCTRINE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS –
Professing Christians may say, “I believe in keeping the Ten Commandments.” Unfortunately, many of them are not able to quote the Ten Commandments. This book will help Christians discover or re-discover the meaning of the Ten Commandments, based on the study of the Bible. Also, the author devotes one chapter to “Natural Law” so Christians will understand the extent of God’s moral law. This Brief Study of the Ten Commandments is an excellent tool for individual and group Bible study, Sunday School, and sermon preparation. This book is available from Amazon in paperback or Kindle format.
God’s law is not merely a series of moral injunctions. The nature of its content is much broader than the Ten Commandments found in Exodus twenty. This book will challenge Christians to study God’s law from a wide biblical perspective and from natural law. For example, the chapter on the fourth commandment explains the Christian work ethic based on the commandment, “Six days you shall labor and do all your work.”
The heartbeat of this book is to harmonize the love of God with the Law of God. “The law of God should be your delight. The child of God truly endeavors to keep God’s law, because the child of God loves the lawgiver, the Lord Jesus Christ. Not if, but when God’s children fail to perfectly keep God’s law, then turn to the one who kept it perfectly.” You will find God’s love in the keeper of the law, the Lord Jesus Christ.
