Should we still follow the ten commandments today, since we're under the new covenant and not the law?
Jesus came to fulfil the law, which means we don't have to attempt to uphold the law by our own fruition. We don't have to live by the law any more. However, the reason God gave us the laws to begin with was because He loves us, so shouldn't they mean something?
Through Jesus' death on the cross, we can have a personal relationship with Christ where He transforms us to be like Him. Even though Grace abounds, we don't keep living in sin because we are being changed by the blood of our Saviour. He works through us to make us in His image. So DO we still follow the ten commandments? Yes, because they are Godly principles. But that isn't what we put our identity in or what saves us, and we don't keep them through our own power and our own desires. Being transformed to live like Christ, you truly can live a life to the full.
