In the New Testament, Paul testified:

“So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.”
—Romans 7:12.

James adds his weight to the testimony of Paul by stating:

“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, ‘Do not commit adultery,’ also said, ‘Do not murder.’ If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.”
—James 2:10-12.

Charles Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher of the past century, declared: “The law of God is divine law;—holy, heavenly, perfect. . . . There is not a command too many; there is not one too few, but it is so incomparable that its perfection is proof of its divinity.”

John Wesley, one of the founders of the Methodist church, wrote this about the enduring nature of the law:

“The moral law contained in Ten Commandments . . . He [Christ] did not take away. . . . Every part of this law must remain in force upon all man- kind and in all ages.”
—Sermons, vol. l, pp. 221, 222.

Several years ago, W. J. Cameron made this statement in an address given on the CBS radio network: “There are certain minimum terms on which people can live together, and if these be broken, social stability is lost. . . . The most comprehensive statement known to us of the minimum terms on which society can be maintained is the Ten Commandments. . . .

“This is the basic law on which all Anglo-Saxon laws are founded. Basic, because it is first written in the normal constitution of human nature. Commandments so-called, they simply state what right-minded people naturally do, and what no law can compel wrong-minded persons to do. Thus, they are more than commandments; they are the profound constitution of good society. Analyze any one of them and in it you will find an indispensable social necessity. No strong social structure has arisen where any of these elements has been lacking.”

Billy Graham, the world’s most respected evangelical evangelist, regards the Ten Commandments so highly that he has written an entire book about their importance to the Christian.
