The Ten Commandments

  • by Don Hooser
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s” (Exodus 20:17).

God, the Source of all life, “created man in His own image” for a sacred purpose (Genesis 1:27). Every human being is a child of God, so only He can authorize the taking of human life. That is why murder—the unauthorized killing of a human being—is wrong.

“Honor your father and mother… that it may be well with you.” God said it and meant it so it has to mean very good things! God blesses those who obey His Ten Commandments and God gives special blessings to those who faithfully obey the Fifth Commandment!

Human beings are by nature uncomfortable with trying to relate to a God who is invisible, infinite, immortal, transcendent, intangible and humanly incomprehensible. People want to reduce and humanize God so He is less heavenly and more down-to-earth. However, portraying our supernatural God with something physical is insulting to God.
