The First Commandment

The first commandment and how it applies to relationships is important to our whole concept of living God's way.  The essence of the first commandment is that, to have a relationship with God, we have to leave the past behind.  If you haven't found the true foundation in the first commandment, you may be keeping the others in vain. What value do we place on being part of God's family?
