68 TRANSGRESSING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
CREATES GENERATIONAL CURSES; OBEYING THEM CREATES ENDLESS BLESSING.

“The Ten Commandments aren’t relevant any longer. We’re under grace, not the Law.”

This tragic misunderstanding is prevalent throughout the Church. However, we must understand that the Law has never been replaced. It’s just been fulfilled in Jesus.

Jesus said that the Law and Prophets were captured in two commands: Love the Lord with all your heart, might, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. So now we live under the Law of Love.

However, breaking the Commandments still brings forth a curse because you’ve moved outside the Law of Love.

Teach your child to obey the Ten Commandments because they will educate her in how to live. Having a consciousness of the Law ensures the child will be more careful in her dealings with others and with God. Having no consciousness of the Law means the child will live a rebellious and lawless life.

Teach your child to embrace the Law of Love. As he does, he’ll learn what it means to walk closeness with God. Your child can love because God first loved him. You show him the love of God by the close interaction you have with him.

Teach your child how to love—then she will not have to be concerned with the curse.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days.… (Deut. 30:19–20)
