The moral law (Ten Commandments) are not just legalistic rules imposed on us. They reflect the character of God. To be close to God, to be like God, we need to obey them. None of us has obeyed them. But Christ Jesus has. In him, therefore, is life. Through faith in him we have justification and life. And in him we can obey the moral law, follow Jesus, walk in the Spirit, and know the Father. The moral law is not optional, in knowing God.
