DISCUSSION
For Christians today:
Romans 8:2 teaches, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
And Galatians 5:1 tells us, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
But Romans 6:18 says, "Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness."
Thus, while we are saved by grace and not by works (Ephesians 2:8), the Ten Commandments are still our Lord's guideline for how He would like us to live.
The Tenth Commandment is expressly reconfirmed for us in Colosians 3:5.
