But, do you think that by accepting the Christ that all of our sins are forgiven?
Let's get back to the 10 Commandments:
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10.You shall not covet.
Moses was teaching us that we should accept the Law of God if we want to have our salvation. Also, Christ mentioned that and he add plus 2 Commandments:
1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
There are many people who think that they accept Christ, but did they try to respect the Law?
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior is the thing that will save you, provided you remain in that acceptance. The sins are gone. Jesus took them on the cross. The only sin Jesus did not take on the cross is the blasphemy against the Holy spirit. Do you know what that blasphemy is?
Nobody keeps the commandments perfect enough to be accepted by God. The commandments were given for two reasons:
1. To show the people that they couldn't keep them;
2. To bring about peaceful earthly lives when people attempted to keep them.
Accepting Jesus Christ in the way that saves, includes some respect for the Law.

Mate, I think that you should seriously ready the 10 Commandments and think about them! Then about the other 2 who Christ add them to the Law and read this post again...
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
- This is the first commandment where God is telling us that He belongs to us and that we should accept Him as our Father.
2. You shall not make idols.
- Today everyone think that the Saints are those who keep and protect them from the evil, but they forgot that without the faith in God, the Saints can not help them.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
- How many people use the word God and how many of them are actually really believe in Him?
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
- This means that you should have one day in the week where you will devote for you, your family and God.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
- God can be our Father and Mother at the same time, that's why He is telling us to respect our parents. If we know how to respect them, then we will know hot to respect Him.
6. You shall not murder.
- Not murder even with your thoughts. Tell me, who many times did you kill a person in your thoughts?
7. You shall not commit adultery.
- Not even with your thoughts! There are a lots of people who would like to have the girl of his friend in there thoughts... Have you had this experience?
8. You shall not steal.
- This commandment is very clear.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
- How many people today pretended that they are your friends, but behind your back they speak lies about you?
10.You shall not covet.
- We all have desires, but are we able to put them in control?
John 14:15
15"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16
