To have no other Gods before him. What does this truly mean?
idols are most of the time a huge part of our life. We all have idols and we donât even know it. We donât even recognize the fact that we have multiple idols. An Xbox can be an idol. When the commandment says no other Gods, the Lord doesnât just mean gods as in lords. But he also means anything that you put before him thatâs not him can serve as a idol or a âgodâ in your life.
Be careful, one way that you can keep this from happening, is that you can have a constant prayer life to keep in check your idols and gods.

God doesnât want you to have the possibility to worship a statue or anything that you think can resemble anything of his likeness. He doesnât want you to worship an idol, he wants you to worship him. You donât need anything to worship God. All you need is him, and he wants it to be this way. So itâs him and him alone.
A good way to apply this to your life is to simply follow it. Donât make anything that you think could be God and definitely if you do. Donât worship it for that could serve as a âgodâ or an âidolâ in the process.

Would you like it if someone else used your name almost like a cuss word? The Lord does not like it when someone uses his name in vain.
one way you can apply this to your life is by watching the words that you say. Removing these words that we use in a vulgar manner can be appropriate and useful. It brings a certain class to your life.

I accidentally left this out. Truly I didnât mean to on the original release.
What is the sabbath? Exodus⏠â20âŹ:â9âŹ-â10⏠says this. âSix days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.â
Sadly this commandment is misunderstood most of the time. At first I over read it and I did not fully understand it. Itâs important to keep the sabbath holy. God did say such.

To honor your Mother and Father. To respect and hold true to biblical values that your parents are always ahead of you. Respect them with all your heart and honor them for they brought you into this world. Most of the time they can take you out too. God will honor and bless you if your honor your mother and father.

First of all. We all know that murder is wrong. That is a morality question. For more on morality search up âMoralityâ by Alex Dabbs on this app. If I can add the post I will add it to the end of this note.
We all know to not murder. If you have a problem with murder. Iâm afraid I canât help you with that. You must take that cross up with God himself.

One of the biggest things that is simply infecting this generation and truly has been slowly moving into this world is lust. Lust is one of the biggest problems that we face in this day and age. Adultery is simply lusting while married or lusting over someone who is also married. You donât even have to actually do the deed to commit the sin. Simply just thinking and lusting over it in your thoughts is committing the sin as well.
Here is a verse that backs what I said.
âBut I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.â

This is another Commandment that is based around morality. Right and Wrong. What makes it wrong to kill or steal someone or something? There is a sense of right and wrong. This in itself shows that God exists and he is very real.
would you like it if someone came and just took something that you saved up for and bought with your own money? No.
So donât steal, treat your neighbor as you want to be treated.

Would you want your neighbor to lie and say that you did something that you actually did not do? I donât think so.
so donât lie about your neighbor and their deeds. Keep everything to yourself. We as humans and Christians are not supposed to assume and tell fake truths.

Covet means to want to possess something. So in this verse when he says not to âcovetâ he means for you not to want or be jealous of what your neighbors have. Be thankful for the stuff that you have.
one way to apply this to your life is to look at what you have and take the time and just appreciate all of your belongings. You may have something that your neighbors may not have.

The Ten Commandments are here for a reason. We all need to read them and apply them in our day to day lives. They are important and not to be left alone. They are to be read and exorcise in our life.
