The
First Commandment
Chassy
Barrett
Today let’s talk about the Ten
Commandments and how to understand them from my point of view, a ten year old
Christian girl.
Let’s start with the first one from
Exodus 20:1-6:
EX 20:1 And God spoke all these words:
EX 20:2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of
EX 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me.
EX 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of
anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You
shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a
jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and
fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand
generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
In other words DON”T
WORSHIP FAKES! If you do this you shall be punished for your sin.
When you don’t have
time to pray, read your Bible, or anything relating to the worship of GOD, but
you have time for your favorite singer, movie star, activity, making money,
playing the computer, etc. Then you have
put something above GOD, which means that is your GOD
or your idol. Some idols that people
worship:
Elvis Presley
Britney Spears
Money
John Wayne
