THOUGHTS ABOUT GOD'S TEN COMMANDMENTS

In Exodus 20, God gives Moses Ten Commandments by which His people were to live.  Here are some brief thoughts about these commandments, and how they operate in our lives.

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 

1.         HONOR GOD BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS … You shall have no other gods before Me.  
2.         HONOR GOD BY SERVING HIM ONLY … You shall not make for yourself an idol. 
3.         HONOR GOD BY HALLOWING HIS HOLY NAME … You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.  
4.         HONOR GOD BY TAKING TIME FOR HIM … Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.  
5.         HONOR GOD BY RESPECTING YOUR PARENTS … Honor your father and your mother.  
6.         HONOR GOD BY HONORING LIFE … You shall not murder.  
7.         HONOR GOD BY HONORING HUMAN SEXUALITY … You shall not commit adultery.
8.         HONOR GOD BY HONORING THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS … You shall not steal.  
9.         HONOR GOD BY BEING TRUTHFUL IN ALL YOUR RELATIONSHIPS … You shall not bear false witness.  
10.      HONOR GOD BY HONORING YOUR OWN INNER LIFE AND LIVE FREE … You shall not covet.
