All my trouble stems from too low view of God and too high view of me! The 10 Commandments allow to see the true nature of God and the right response to that is fear. Not a fear that causes us to run but a fear that causes us to stand in awe and reverence and seek a mediator so that we can remain in His presence and obedient to Him. The first mediator was Moses. The 2nd mediator is the better and true mediator, Jesus Christ. So many reject Christ as mediator because they have rejected the One True God and do not see their need for one. The 10 Commandments help us remember who God is and who we truly are and our desperate need for someone to bridge the enormous gap between us. Thank God for Jesus Christ!!
