There are many people today who say we are under Grace, not Law. That the Ten Commandments were nailed to the cross with Jesus, and abolished. Is this true according to the Bible?
The following study from the Scriptures makes the answer quite clear.
Exodus 31:18
The Ten Commandments were written by God personally. Not by man.

The Ten Commandments were placed inside the Ark of the Covenant, under the Mercy Seat, which represented God’s throne. This action confirmed that they were as eternal as God’s throne.

The moment Jesus died the curtain in the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. This was done by the hand of God.

They no longer needed human priests or animal sacrifices.

God’s Ten Commandments are still in His temple in Heaven.
