God tells us what is right and wrong in His eyes throughout the Bible, but His law is summed up in the Ten Commandments. These ten regulations cover the basic principles by which God wants us to live. They were given to us by God Himself, written by His own hand. They are rules to make our lives easier and more pleasant; they are not meant to be burdensome. If all of mankind were to follow these ten rules, there would be no need for police or military forces, or even a judicial system. We could truly have peace on earth. --from Lesson 1, The Moral Law
