Ten Commanments

Exodus20:1~26
The ten commandments.
For I am the Lord,your God.
Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.
In the beginning,God spoke the words of life. Now God speak the words for living.
This summary and climax of God 's covenant-agreement with his people sets out a basic ethical norm application to all people in all ages.
The first four'words' concern people's relationship to God, the remaining six their relationship to one another.
As Jesus summarized them, the commandments are all about loving God and loving our 'neighbor'.
They show God's concern for the whole of life. God sets the standards in famiily relationship, regard for human life,sex, property, speech and thought. God made us who else can lay down the best way to live?
Written on stone tablets, preserved in the Ark of the Covenant, these ten'words' were th basic of Israel's law. In form they follow the standard pattern of Near Eastern treaties current in the 13th centuryBC, particularly those between vassals and their overlords.
How?
Honor the name of God, will be the blessing to us.
