Answer: C - Mount Sinai
Why the 10 Commandments Are Important to God?
The Ten Commandments were spoken to Moses in God's own voice and then later written on two tablets of stone by the very finger of God. They are extremely important to God. After Moses destroyed the tablets inscribed by God, he made Moses write new ones, just like the ones he had written himself.
These Commandments are the first part of God's law system. In essence, they are a summary of the hundreds of laws found in the Old Testament Law. Designed to guide Israel into a life of practical holiness, the ten commandments offer basic rules of behavior for spiritual and moral living.
Today, these laws still instruct us, expose sin, and show us God's standard. But, without the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are utterly helpless to live up to God's holy standard.
Moses destroyed the tablets in his anger. His breaking of the tablets was symbolic of the laws of God being broken in the hearts of his people. Moses had righteous anger at the sight of sin. Anger at sin is a sign of spiritual health. It is appropriate to experience righteous anger. However, we should always be careful that it does not lead us to sin. So, why did the people beg Aaron for something to worship? The answer is that humans are created to worship. We will either worship God, ourselves, money or fame. An idol can be anything. Anything that deviate you away from God. Ask yourself if there is any idol in your heart that is keeping you away from God as the center of your being to worship Him?
