Do the Ten Commandments apply to Christians today? Christian Questions, Moments that Matter

In this episode, we take a deep look at the First Commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me” and discover why this ancient instruction remains foundational for every Christian today.

The Ten Commandments were not merely rules for Israel, but timeless principles that reveal God’s character. Jesus and the apostles built their teachings on these same moral foundations, showing that while Christians are not under the Law of Moses, we are absolutely called to live out the righteousness those commandments point to. The First Commandment in particular is an “internal instruction”, a matter of the heart that shapes every outward action. It calls us to give God our instinctive loyalty, our first trust and our deepest devotion.

So, what do “other gods” look like today? They may not be carved idols, but they show up in subtle forms: fear, control, comfort, self-reliance, approval, or anything that quietly becomes our first go-to instead of God.
