Exodus 20:1-21
In the Ten Commandments God gave us instructions on the way
to promote a good relationship with Him and with others. These
foundational principles are the basis for law and order, government,
families, and personal peace.
✞ God's Commands Show Us How to Love and Respect God
(Exodus 20:1-11)
The first four commandments point us to the character of
God and help us worship Him appropriately.
✞ God's Commands Show Us How to Love and Respect People
(Exodus 20:12-17)
The next six commandments (the second table of the Law)
give us basic principles for our relationships with others,
both in our actions and our attitudes.
✞ Reverence for God Helps Keep Us from Sin
(Exodus 20:18-21)
God is concerned with our hearts, not merely with our
actions. Our motive for obedience is our deep love and
respect for God.
