The Ten Commandments Can Be Summarized in Two Principles to Live By

Though many people view the Ten Commandments as a list of do’s and don’ts, they are actually two simple principles God wants us to live by. When you understand the bottom line story of the Bible, you will clearly see what those two principles are. Bible StoryBoards can help you understand that story so you will know what it really is that God wants from you.

Love God and Love Others

The 10 Boil Down to 2
The 10 Boil Down to 2

Over and over throughout the story of God and man that is found in the Bible, we see God trying to help us understand and live out His desire for us. And it’s not a set of religious rules and practices. He simply wants us to love Him and to love others. That’s it.

The Ten Commandments were given to the Children of Israel to set them apart from the other nations around them. But they were also given so they would get a picture of what it means to love God and to love others.

A Vertical and Horizontal Focus

The first four commandments are all about loving God. They help us see what that love looks like. The last six commandments are about loving others. If we truly love others, these are some of the ways that love will be demonstrated in our day-to-day lives.

It’s our hope that the Bible StoryBoards book or app will help you see who God is and what He wants from you. And as the story unfolds, you’ll see it’s all about love, not rules.
