The Ten Commandments
God's will for people is shown most clearly in the Ten Commandments. They are:
- I am the Lord your God who brought you out of bondage. You shall have no other gods but me
Meaning, to love and obey God, and to bring others to know him. - You shall not make for your self any idol
Meaning, to put nothing in the place of God. - You shall not invoke with malice the Name of the Lord your God
Meaning, to show God respect in thought, word, and deed. - Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy
Meaning, to set aside regular times for worship, prayer, and the study of God's ways. - Honor your father and your mother
Meaning, to love, honor, and help our parents and family; to honor those in authority, and to meet their just demands. - You shall not commit murder
Meaning, to show respect for the life god has given us; to work, and pray for peace; to bear no malice, prejudice, or hatred in our hearts. - You shall not commit adultery
Meaning, to use our bodily desires as God intended. - You shall not steal
Meaning, to be honest and fair in our dealings. - You shall not be a false witness
Meaning, to speak the truth, and not to mislead others by our silence. - You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor
Meaning, to resist temptations to envy, greed, and jealousy: to rejoice in other people's gifts, and graces; and to do our duty for the love of God, who has called us into fellowship with him.
