The fear of God will keep me from sinning

Exodus 20:18-26
The Load speak to Moses and Israelite, Israelite saw the thunder and lighting, mountain in smoke and heard the trumpet.
Israelite afraid and prefer Moses speak to them and they will listen.
Moses said " God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep your from sinning."
Israelite have seen God, Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves god of silver of gods of gold.
Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.
Why?
Fear God will let us keep away from sinning. If we don't fear god then we might do evil things.
God has not show in any shape to be imagined so we can't do any gods or idol to worship. God is a spirit,is a living God. But God is a light, who gives us love and shinning my way.
Although similar in form to other ancient law-codes of Western Asia. the Jewish code has several distinctive features:
1)The whole code rests on the authority of God, not of a king.
2)There is no division between civil and religious law.
3)There is one law for all, whatever a person's status. Regulations protecting the weak and helpless are particularly striking.
4)A high view of human life is demonstrated by fixed, limited penalties-- one crime, one punishment.
How?
Fear the Load is basic altitude to the God. I am fear God
Where Honor God's name, God will be with me. How wonderful promise. I hope I can do everything can let God's name be honored. Every if it isn't honor God then I won't do it.

Love God in all of my mind & strength, heart

Exodus 20:1-11
God spoke all of the commandments to Moses and Israelite.
1)You shall have not other gods before me.
2)You shall not make for yourself an idol in form of anything in anywhere. You shall not bow down or worship to them.--- even not make by you.
3)You shall not misuse the name of the Load your God
4)Remember the Sabbath day by keeping holy. For the Load rested on 7 days when Load made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that in them.
I, the Load your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for sin of the fathers who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who have love me and keep my commandments.
This 4 commandments concern people's relationship to God, other 6 their relationship to one another. As Jesus summarized them the commandments are all about loving God and loving our 'neighbour'
Why?
This world is created by the Load, so He tell us the commandments we shall keep, let us may live longer and peace in this land. Like father teach his children how to live.
First 3 commandments are about the Load himself. He is the only God in the world and in our heart.
Not other gods before me: we might have many interested hobbies or materials , but all of this can not replace the Load, my God.
We can't say anything in name of the Load, if it is not spoke by the Load. Shall not be a imposter of the God.
The love of God is more than His punishment.
How?
I have God then I have everything, Does I really have not other gods before the Load? It is a giant, such as money, career and family.
How will be if look from the eyes of the Load, things will be changed.
I need more faith and trust on the Load and my savior Jesus.
Love God in all of my mind and my strength, my heart.

God is holy with power and Love

Exodus 19:1-25
On the very day- they came to the desert of Sinai, in the third month after Israelite left Egypt.
God said to Moses in the mountain:"You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagle's wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priest and a holy nation. There are the words you are to speak to the Israelite"
The people all responded together, "we will do everything the Load has said"
The Load said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you."
people of Israel have to consecrate them today and tomorrow, and wash their clothes and ready by the third day. Abstain from sexual relations.
Load came to Sinai mountain in the sight of all the people, no one can go up to the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whether man or animal , he shall not be permitted ti love.
On the morning of third day there was thunder and lighting, with cloud over mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the cap trembled.
The priest do not existed before Sinai.
Why?
The Load let people of Israelite hear God speaking when God talk to Moses, then people of Israel may trust in Moses. God's action has His purpose- let his servant has power among people.
The Load is light, is fire and hide in dense cloud. Demonstrate Hos power. Every human being can't close to the Load for He is holy.
Consecrate myself, then is possible close to the Load. Consecrate: 1) Abstain from sexual relations 2) wash clothes- wear clean clothes.
Obey God fully: Not any exception when obey God, under any situation, no matter happy or sorrow.
Keep God's covenant: Follow God's words, Not our own selfish mind or others pursuit, but the words of God, no change no modify.
Put limits around the mountain is protect people unconsciously come close and will be put to dead.
How?
God loves Israelite and now through Jesus God loves us. God like eagle bring us to Him.
God is my king, for God I am kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
