ViviThe 'Ten Commandments' are a reminder to us of God's standard, but more importantly the Ten Commandments are there to remind of that we have fallen from God's holy standard, which should reveal our need for Christ.
The Ten Commandments should not be something that one tries to live by, as by living by law we can only fail. Instead the righteous shall live by faith.
So to reiterate, the Ten Commandments are there to reveal our need for Christ in our lives.

What was the difference between the ten commandments and the laws of the other peoples like the greeks and romans?
Both share a sort of "common morality" that does not allow for murder, theft and so on. The main difference is that the Ten Commandments were written to enforce a monotheistic religion, so dissuaded practices that they called "idolatry", i.e. the worship of statues, other deities e.t.c. The Romans and Greeks both followed polytheistic religions where what the Jews considered idolatry was widely practiced.
