2. They knew the voice of the Lord and
spent time with Him in the garden.
3. GENESIS 2:16, 17
And the Lord God commanded
the man, You are free to eat
from any tree in the garden;
but you must not eat from the
tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, for when you eat
from it you will certainly die.
4. GENESIS 3:1-4
Now the serpent was more
crafty than any of the wild
animals the Lord God had made.
He said to the woman, “Did God
really say, ‘You must not eat
from any tree in the garden’?
The woman said to the serpent,
We may eat fruit from the trees
in the garden, but…
5. CONTINUED…
…God did say, ‘You must not
eat fruit from the tree that is
in the middle of the garden,
and you must not touch it, or
you will die.’” “You will not
certainly die,” the serpent
said to the woman.
7. What it must have been to be in such a
relationship with God as to walk and talk with
Him in the Garden. Yet now as He comes to
them this time, instead of meeting their
Creator, they hide themselves from his
presence (Gen 3:8). The universal principle of
love that once governed God’s relationship to
mankind was now shattered.
LOVE SHATTERED

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him

4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor
thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the

17. Billy Graham -- My Answer
The Houston Sun
(a syndicated newspaper column, which started in the 1950’s)
Q. Some religious people I know tell me that the 10
commandments are part of the law and do not apply to
us today. They say that as Christians we are free from
the law. Is this right?
A. No, it is not right, and I hope you will not be misled by
these false opinions. It is very important to understand
what the Bible means when it says that Christians are free
from the law. It certainly does not mean that they are free
from the obligations of the moral Law of God and are…
18. …at liberty to sin. You see the word law is used by the
New Testament writers in two senses. Sometimes it refers
to the ceremonial law of the Old Testament which is
concerned about ritual matters and regulations regarding
food and drink and things of that kind. The ceremonial law
was of a passing character and was done away with when
Christ came. From this law Christians are indeed free. But
the New Testament also speaks of a moral law which is of
a permanent unchanging character and is summarized in
the 10 commandments. This law sets forth man’s duty to
God and his neighbor. That it definitely applies to the
Christian is made clear in Romans 13:8-10.

19. ROMANS 13:8-10
Let no debt remain outstanding, except
the continuing debt to love one another,
for whoever loves others has fulfilled
the law. The commandments, “You
shall not commit adultery,” “You shall
not murder,” “You shall not steal,”
“You shall not covet,” and whatever
other command there may be, are
summed up in this one command:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Love does no harm to a neighbor.
Therefore love is the fulfillment of the

fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever
therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall
be called the least in the kingdom of

And that day was the preparation,
and the Sabbath drew on. And the
women also, which came with him
from Galilee, followed after, and
beheld the sepulchre, and how his
body was laid. And they returned,
and prepared spices and ointments;
and rested the Sabbath day
according to the commandment.
33. ACTS 13:13-15
Now when Paul and his company loosed
from Paphos, they came to Perga in
Pamphylia: and John departing from
them returned to Jerusalem. But when
they departed from Perga, they came to
Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat
down. And after the reading of the law
and the prophets the rulers of the
synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye
men and brethren, if ye have any word
of exhortation for the people, say on…
34. ACTS 17:1-3
Now when they had passed through
Amphipolis and Apollonia, they
came to Thessalonica, where was a

as his manner was, went in unto
them, and three Sabbath days
reasoned with them out of the
scriptures, Opening and alleging,
that Christ must needs have
suffered, and risen again from the
dead; and that this Jesus, whom I
preach unto you, is Christ.
37. ACTS 20:7-11
And upon the first day of the week,
when the disciples came together to
break bread, Paul preached unto them,
ready to depart on the morrow; and
continued his speech until midnight.
And there were many lights in the upper
chamber, where they were gathered
together. And there sat in a window a
certain young man named Eutychus,
being fallen into a deep sleep: and as
Paul was long preaching, he sunk down
with sleep, and fell down from…
38. CONTINUED…
…the third loft, and was taken up
dead. And Paul went down, and
fell on him, and embracing him
said, Trouble not yourselves; for
his life is in him. When he
therefore was come up again, and
had broken bread, and eaten, and
talked a long while, even till break
of day, so he departed.

Then they that gladly received his word

in prayers. And all that believed were

And when the Jews were gone out
of the synagogue, the Gentiles
besought that these words might
be preached to them the next
Sabbath…And some of them
believed, and consorted with Paul
and Silas; and of the devout
Greeks a great multitude, and of
the chief women not a few…And
he reasoned in the synagogue
every Sabbath, and persuaded the
Jews and the Greeks.

From thence to Philippi, which is the
chief city of that part of Macedonia…
on the Sabbath we went out of the city
by a river side, where prayer was wont
to be made; and we sat down, and
spake unto the women which resorted
thither. And a certain woman named
Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of
Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard
us: whose heart the Lord opened, that
she attended unto the things which
were spoken of Paul.

Lord’s day, contrary to the Decalogue, as it appears,
neither is there any example more boasted of than the

with one of the Ten Commandments.” Martin Luther,

“There was and is a commandment to

Sabbath was not Sunday. It will,
however be readily said, and with
some show of triumph, that the
Sabbath was transferred from the
seventh to the first day of the week ...

…Where can the record of such a
transaction be found? Not in the New
Testament, Absolutely Not!”
“Of course,” he continues, “I quite well

early Christian history as a religious
day, as we learn from the Christian
fathers and other sources. But…

branded with the mark of
Paganism, and christened with
the name of the sun god, when
adopted and sanctioned by the

“We ought to remember that the
Sabbath is God’s gift to man… We
realize, of course, that our
Sabbath is not the same as that
observed by the Jews. Theirs was
the seventh day of the week,
while ours is the first...
52. The reason we observe the first day
instead of the seventh is based on no
positive command. One will search the
Scriptures in vain for authority for
changing from the seventh day to the
first… Our Christian Sabbath,
therefore, is not a matter of positive
command. It is a gift of the church.”

By one man's disobedience
many were made sinners, so by
the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that
the offence might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound: That as sin
hath reigned unto death, even
so might grace reign through…
56. ROMANS 5:19-6:2
…righteousness unto eternal
life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
What shall we say then? Shall
we continue in sin, that grace
may abound? God forbid.
How shall we, that are dead
to sin, live any longer therein?

Seeing therefore it remaineth that
some must enter therein, and they to
whom it was first preached entered
not in because of unbelief: Again, he
limiteth a certain day, saying in David,
Today, after so long a time; as it is
said, Today if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts. For if Jesus
had given them rest, then…
60. CONTINUED…
…would he not afterward have
spoken of another day. There
remains therefore a rest to the
people of God. For he that is
entered into his rest, he also
hath ceased from his own works,
as God did from his. Let us labor
therefore to enter into that rest,
lest any man fall after the same
example of unbelief.

If ye love me, keep my

abide with you for ever; Even
the Spirit of truth; whom the
world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be
in you. I will not leave you
comfortless: I will come to you…

Yet a little while, and the world
seeth me no more; but ye see
me: because I live, ye shall live
also. At that day ye shall know
that I am in my Father, and ye in
me, and I in you. He that hath my
commandments, and keepeth
them, he it is that loveth me: and
he that loveth me shall be loved
of my Father, and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him.
