THE FIRST
COMMANDMENT
You shall have no other gods before Me.
- Exodus 20:3
• What has been the
result of worshiping
false gods?
ASK YOURSELF:
The first commandment has a clear
message. It says:
• DO NOT GIVE YOUR LOVE TO GODS WHO
ARE NOT REALLY GODS.
• DO NOT GIVE LOVE TO ANY THING OR
ANY PERSON WHO IS NOT REALLY GOD.
If you do, that person or that
thing will HURT YOU and
DISSAPOINT YOU.
WORSHIP THE LORD WHO
IS YOUR GOD, AND SERVE
ONLY HIM.
Matthew 4:10
This is the meaning of the first commandment.
It is not enough to stop praying to the false
gods such as money, sex, and power.
We must worship the true God who
lives in heaven.
THE REVELATION OF GOD NEVER COMES TO US LIKE A POWERFUL
FORCE. IT COMES QUIETLY TO PEOPLE WHO OPEN THEIR EYES, EARS,
AND ESPECIALLY THEIR HEARTS.
WE DO NOT NEED A STRONG FEELING ABOUT GOD. WE ONLY NEED TO
STOP DOUBTING. WE NEED TO ACCEPT THE REASONS GOD GIVES US
TO BELIEVE.
WHY IS THIS COMMANDENT FIRST?
• Some people believe in God, but
they do not make Him first. They do
not make Him the Ruler of their
lives. If He is truly God, then He has
to be first.
IF GOD IS FIRST, WE
WILL REFUSE
EVERYTHING THAT
MAKES HIM LESS
IMPORTANT TO US.
WE WILL REFUSE
EVERYTHING THAT
MAKES US LOVE HIM
LESS.
WE WILL REFUSE
EVERYTHING THAT
DOES NOT MAKE HIM
THE RULER.
THE SECOND
COMMANDMENT
Do not make an image for yourself. Do not worship
anything that looks like something that is in the sky or
on the earth or in the water under the earth. Do not
bend down to them or serve them; for I, the Lord
your God, am a jealous God. I bring the sins of the
fathers on the children, grandchildren and the great
grandchildren of those who hate me. I show love and
kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep
My commandments (Exodus 20:4-6)
WHY DOES THE SECOND
COMMANDMENT SAY WE
MUST NOT MAKE AND
IMAGE TO SHOW WHAT
GOD IS LIKE?
You can make it very big.
You can cover it with gold and diamonds.
But you cannot make an image that truly shows God. If
you try, you will only make Him small.
HOW DOES GOD SEE THINGS?
SOMETIMES OUR PROBLEMS SEEM VERY BIG.
HOW DOES GOD SEE THEM?
“PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOUR LAW HAVE A
LOT OF PEACE. NOTHING WILL MAKE
THEM FALL DOWN”
PSALM 119:165
Christ is coming soon in glory and majesty
Each one needs to hear this truth about
eternity
Who will go without waiting to tell it to the
world?
That Jesus is soon to come again.
Go and tell it to the world !
That from sin and so much trouble the people can
be free
Go! And tell it to the world !
That Christ is coming soon in victory !
So many souls are dying in darkness and in
fear,
They need a light from heaven to give them
hope and cheer.
Who will go to these lost ones the Truth of
God to share ?
That Jesus will save them from despair.
