Commandments one through four (of the 10 commandments - Exodus 20:3-11) are about how we are to act toward God. And the remaining six deal with how act toward each other (Exodus 20:12-17).
So the first great commandment: "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind" (MT 22:37), covers the first four.
And the second great commandment: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (MT 22:39), covers the last six. It's all about showing love.
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for all things (God , man, nature, animals and everything that exist on mother earth and the universe). For we are all connected to the Great Source, we carry His DNA, we are the spark of His DIVINE energy. We are one in Him.
Since, God's love is all incumbent. He's first agenda was to show His "Grace", which He did many times pier to any written laws; but the people couldn't listen nor follow without Moses or written words; basically without visual aids. This was because of their disconnect from the leaning path they were on three hundred years before slavery. In Egypt (where Moses resuced them from) the custom was to worship visible images of their gods.
The Old Testament or covenant (promise) speaks about the coming of God to earth in flesh (visually); to reveal the original agenda. He for filled this promise in the New Testament; meeting all the requirements of the Old. To be the final sacrifice and save His people: as the person "Jesus".
Jesus spoke of going back to glory but leaving God with the people in an unseen form. It was to aid the believers journey. If we believe in God at all, it is due to God making himself known to us thru the part that is here with us now; the Holy Spirit or also known as the Holy Ghost.
This takes us back to the original path of believing, seeing and leaning and communicating with God Almighty; creator of all; without a visual form. Using our faith not our sense's. For God is a Spirit and we must worship Him in spirit to get to know Him and count on Him and not ourselves.
The Exodus was the preface to the receiving of the Ten Commandments from God.

That is only something Mother Teresa and God can answer.
