As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world’s law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view – it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!

James Madison, the fourth president, known as “The Father of Our Constitution” made the following statement “We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” James Madison, 1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia

John Quincy Adams also wrote: “The Law given from Sinai [The Ten Commandments] was a civil and municipal as well as a moral and religious code.” John Quincy Adams. Letters to his son. p. 61

R.C. Sproul has rightly declared: “In declaring the top priorities for Godly living, our Lord said: ‘Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well’ (Matthew 6:33). When Jesus said, ‘Seek first,’ the word first does not describe an initial step in a numerical sequence. Rather, the force of the term is to emphasize priority of importance. Our top priority is to seek God’s kingdom and God’s righteousness. If we want to know what righteousness looks like, we direct our attention to the law of God, as given to us in the Ten Commandments. To be sure, our Savior has redeemed us from the curse of the law. We are no longer pressed down, groaning under its burden. We are not saved by the law, but by grace. (A Free Gift). Yet we are not to throw the law of God into the trash bin as though it has no value to us. The law still serves as a perfect revelation of true righteousness.” (http://cyberbreezes.com/righteousness.htm)

The Book of Revelation says the same thing:

“Here is the patience of the saints, here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12.

Thus the last book of the Bible upholds God’s law and points to a final group of “saints” who “keep” it while trusting the grace of Jesus Christ!

Are we one of these “saints”?
