People should explore and understand the broader spectrum of laws and commandments found in religious texts. The Ten Commandments, while well-known, represent just a fraction of the comprehensive teachings within the Bible.
In the Old Testament, beyond the Ten Commandments, God provides the Israelites with numerous additional laws. These encompass guidelines on worship practices, dietary regulations, civil laws, and moral principles. For instance, the book of Leviticus is filled with detailed instructions on how to live a holy life according to God's will.
In the New Testament, Jesus distills the essence of the commandments into two profound principles: love God and love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-40). This encapsulation underscores the importance of love and compassion as the foundation of all divine laws.
