My question is HOW do the Ten Commandments reveal the LOVE of God?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
The Commandments came from the Creator. They are a blueprint of his design for our happiness as creatures made in the image of God.
We are happiest when we worship God alone, and not created things or products of our imagination. Loving God certainly requires us to keep his name holy, as Jesus taught in the Lord's Prayer. It requires the small dedication of a single day each week to worship God; anyone who said he loved his wife and family but couldn't be bothered to visit them once a week would be a liar.
Happiness is rooted in the family, and the family cannot exist without honor to one's father and mother. Too, we need a good conscience to be happy, and this is not possible if we commit murder, cheat on a spouse, steal from our neighbors, or swear dishonestly, sending innocent people to be punished. Finally, we can hardly be happy when we are lusting after our neighbor's property, or worse, after his wife.
