exodus 20

This is where you find the Ten Commandments. It's amazing to think that in these few wrods, barely under 200, God completely defined the way humanity would forever relate to Him. That's why we need to obey. to connect, to relate to the Deity who created all of this. We are the capstone, the pinnacle of that creation, and our Creator wants to knowus and wants us to know Him. They aren't rules that bind us into slavery, they are instructions on how to live free, on how to live above the society of weakness and moral compromise that we are enmeshed in. This is not a religion of weak-minded or emotionally insecure. It is a path of strength and demand to which God calls us all to rise.

Father, in order to obtain perfect freedom, I willingly bind myself to Your Law.

I think that our religion or maybe better put our faith reveals our weak mindedness and emotional insecurities, refusing to let us hide behind such things so that in Christ we might rise above them realizing that without Him we are weak minded and emotionally insecure, basing our identities, priorities and everything else on shaky foundations. In other words our religion is for those that are weakminded and emotionally insecure seeking to be strong and safe.
