Many resist the Ten Commandments because they associate them with restrictive rules, performative religion, or churches that lead with prohibitions rather than grace. Even positive approaches like Jesus' summary to love God and neighbor can become burdensome when we focus on what we must do to earn approval. The key lies in understanding the proper gospel order that God establishes: Done, Do, Don't!

The resurrection of Jesus Christ presents humanity with an unavoidable choice: accept it as the greatest truth ever proclaimed or dismiss it as history's most elaborate deception. Charles Colson, one of the Watergate Seven, provides compelling evidence for its authenticity by comparing the disciples' forty-year testimony under persecution to the inability of twelve powerful men to maintain their Watergate lie for even three weeks. If the disciples were fabricating the resurrection, they would never have endured decades of beatings, torture, imprisonment, and death for what they knew to be false.

From the very beginning, sin has made the same deceptive promise that the serpent whispered to Eve: that we can be like God, determining our own truth and morality. This lie echoes through history, from ancient pharaohs claiming divinity to modern philosophies that elevate human reason above divine revelation. However, sin's actual result is the opposite of what it promises. Instead of making us godlike, it dehumanizes us and others.
