God's character demanded perfect obedience from Adam and Eve. He also demands perfect obedience from all of us. His Law, the reflection of His perfect character and justice, will be the standard that He will use to judge the world. The Bible says, "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet.

Do you love God with all your heart? Have you ever cursed using the name of God? Have you ever dishonored your parents? Have you ever taken anything that did not belong to you? Have you ever committed adultery? To break any commandment earns death. "For whosoever keeps the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all" (James 2:10). "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23).

If you have always done what is right according to His Law, then God will consider you righteous and will reward you with eternal life. The man who practices the righteous ness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness (Romans 10:5; Leviticus 18:5; Nehemiah 9:29; Ezekiel 20:11; Galatians 3:12; Matthew 19:17; Luke 10:28).
