168 The Decalogue, a Summary of the Law

The Commandments (or the Decalogue) were given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24). We can read about this in the book of Exodus and Deuteronomy. They must be understood within the context of God’s Covenant with Man. God gives us the gift of his Commandments not as a burden or a limitation, but to guide us to eternal life, to show us the easiest way to Heaven.
