       Regardless, The Ten Commandments allowed people to be able to identify sin. They were God’s expectations. Unfortunately, because all people had sin in their bodies, a sin nature, and they weren’t free from sin as of yet (Christ hadn’t come), all the commandments did was give opportunity for sin to grow in their bodies and manifest itself. We are even familiar with this. And we are going to talk about this in-depth next week. It’s that feeling of wanting to do what we are commanded not to do. And without dying to sin; without our new nature, and being led by the Spirit, there is no way to not want to break the commandments. As a matter of fact, sin increased with the commandments, and started coming forth from people in all ways, shapes, and forms. Paul talked about coveting, saying it produced in him all kinds of different ways to covet, for example.
