A fire extinguisher is in place to help protect the people in the building. It is not a toy. Misusing it could hurt someone. On a much greater scale, God has given us the Ten Commandments. He has given every command to protect us and those we love. They are not optional. They are not subject to change. Breaking them is evil, harmful, and deadly. Jesus came because we broke them and were dying because of it. Now we’ve been rescued. Now we look at the commandments as blessings that protect us, guide us, and show us God’s will.
