Angus explains that one reason the ten commandments were given to us is for us to understand that we cannot be saved by the law, but rather by His grace, mercy and compassion.

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
You shall have no other gods before Me."'
