Yes, the 10 commandments still have the same importance now as they had when the God of Moses commanded Moses to have 'his' people follow them.
Being commanded it is not a 'free choice' but a command to His people.
The commandments should be taken in the context of the time, conditions and situation that Moses and his people were living.
Anyone that believes should learn them to memory and adhere to them still.
The 10 commandments are the basis for our own moral and spiritual compass.
They are presented to be easily remembered with the first 4 being dedicated
to how to relate to "their God" and the last 6 how we should act socially.
Some followers of Jesus might quote Jesus when he said he came to fulfill the Law of Moses and then went on to summarize the 10 commandments with into just 2. "Love God with all your Heart" And "Do unto others as you would want done unto you". But, that he did not dismiss the laws.
With religious tolerance the first 4 commandments are not legally enforceable but ignoring any of the last 6 could easily legally compromise one's well being as most of our secular laws are based on them.
