Do the Ten Commandments still serve a purpose?

[hobie]

Many say that the Ten Commandments is not serving any purpose it their lives as they are not 'under it', or the OT doesnt need to be studied or apply to Christians as there were just Jews being taught, no Christians, or that they 'follow the spirit' and dont worry about the Ten Commandments. But what was the Ten Commandments for, the Law has a purpose which we find in Gods Word.
1. The law is the schoolmaster that brings one to Christ
2. The law is perfect to convert the soul
3. You can not know what sin is without knowledge of the law, and how can you stop its evil it does, if no Law.
4. Repent and believe is the message of the kingdom, so clearly we must know what to repent from.
5. And we see what Christ declared when it comes to eternal life:
Matthew 19:17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

So today, in our society, for people whether Christians or not, is this purpose still valid?

 

[Lamb]

We show love to God when we follow His commandments, but also it's loving towards our neighbors.

Well they do seem to have gone out of fashion, and the result of that is increasingly obvious in the news we read daily.

'Do as thou wilt' seems to be what much of the world we used to call Christendom is practicing now, and is the growing trend in the Christian world as well as the secular one it resides in.
