Exodus 20

This is the first time where the Ten Commandments are listed. They are given to Moses by the very Hand of God. In other words Moses didn`t write the Ten Commandments down; at least this first time. Exodus 32: 16 { And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God.} Here are the Ten Commandments: 1= Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2= Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. 3= Thou shalt not take the name of Lord thy God in vain. 4= Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. 5= Honour thy father and thy mother. 6= Thou shalt not kill. { murder} 7= Thou shalt not commit adultery. Jesus gives a fuller statement Matthew 5:28 { But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.} 8= Thou shalt not steal. 9= Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 10= Thou shalt not covet. The first 4 commandments are in relation to God; while the remaining 6 are in relation to people. As Jesus said when He was asked what the greatest commandment: Matthew 22:37–40 { —-Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.} There is a condition on the third commandment. God says He will not hold the person guiltless that uses His name in vain. There is a promise with the fifth commandment; that a person will have a long life if he honors his parents. Wouldn`t this also apply to grandparents? They are like parents when the parents aren`t present. God bless you all.
