Of course we do. In Matthew 22:36–40 says “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law? He said to them: we must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second , like it , is this: you must love your neighbor as yourself.. On these two commandments the whole law hangs, and the Prophets.” By following these two commandments, we’d also obey the 10 commandments. In Exodus 20:4–17 list the 10 commandments. You must love Jehovah and put no other God’s before you, no carven images, not bow down to any other gods. These take in the first commandment to love Jehovah God. The rest of the laws pertain to love of neighbor. You must not murder, you must not commit adultery, must not s†éál, you must not lie, must not testify falsely, must not desire your fellow man’s wife. If we love our neighbor, we won’t commit these acts against each other. So yes we believe in the Ten Commandments and live by them. But Jesus death fulfilled the old law covenant. We don’t keep the sabbath because those laws were obsolete to the new covenant of loving God and loving neighbor.
