Aren't we captivated by the "10 suggestions" method of success? They are ubiquitous. They call our attention like a dollar bill on the sidewalk. We nearly dive into knowing the mysteries of a successful life. Then when we go to them, it seems as if we can never come to the heart of the issue. There is always something missing.
In Exodus 20, God gave Moses the beginning of His laws for success in 10 easy steps. Today we call them the 10 Commandments. Not to be confused with the movie starring Charlton Heston made in the 50s. That was ridiculous.
God gave ten laws that will bring complete peace and success in life. Over six hundred rules follow these short sentences. However, even here, there is a catch. That being, we can't keep the 10 Commandments. No average human ever has.
It seems that such a shortlist might be easy to follow, but it isn't. It is impossible, and only one human being has ever kept all of the 10. That was Jesus. He came to do the unthinkable and walk the straight and narrow. Adam had only one rule to keep, and he blew it. So how could Jesus keep the 10? Well, glad that you asked. He was God in the flesh.
Jesus kept not just the impossible 10 Commandments. He kept ALL the Law! Proving that he was God and also provided our Way to heaven. What he left for us to do was accept his sacrificial death and substitution. It is the only road to success that we have. But it is the sure route. See John 14:6.
