    Explanation of the Ten Commandments


    1. Thou shall have no other gods before me

    Any hobby, relationship, person or anything that comes before or between you
    and Jesus Christ in your life or part of your life is a god.

    Anything that occupies you more than God is a god.

    You can also be a god to yourself.

    The worship of creatures is here forbidden and it is idolatry.

    2. Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image

    It is forbidden to make any image or picture of the Deity in any form or for any
    purpose or to worship any creature, image or picture.

    In addition, images are created in imagination. If you create any image of God
    in your imagination (mind), you have broken the second command.

    We should not create an image of God in our minds and the big question is;
    how do you imagine of a person called ‘I am whom I am’, a spirit?
    3. Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them

    The spiritual importance of this command extends further.

    All kinds of superstition are here forbidden and the use of mere human
    inventions in the worship of God.

    4. Thou shall not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain

    If you swear in God’s name or lower what is Holy and perfect in His eyes, you
    have broken the third command.

    Devils plan is to see God’s name stumbled and lowered to the lowest degree.

    All false oaths are forbidden and all light appealing to God, all profane cursing
    and hypocrisy is a horrid breach of this command.

    Praying and worshiping God without great faith is also a breach of this
    commandment. See the importance of faith.

    Worship him with reverence and seriousness.

    5. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy

    If you never keep all days of Sabbath, not just one day, you have never kept
    the Sabbath day, you have broken the fourth command.

    Jesus Christ allowed works of necessity, charity and piety to be done on


    Sabbath day.

    The Sabbath day was made for man and not man for the Sabbath (Mr
    2:27).

    All works of luxury, vanity or self-indulgence in any form are forbidden.

    Trading, paying wages, settling accounts, writing letters of business, worldly


    studies, traveling, visits, journeys or light conversation are not in the spirit of
    keeping the Sabbath day holy.

    The Sabbath day should be a day of rest from worldly labor.


    6. Honor thy father and thy mother

    If you neither honor your father and your mother nor recognized them as your
    parents you have broken this law.

    7. Thou shall not kill

    If you are angry with anyone you are guilty.

    If you are upset or bitter, abuse, quarrel and fight with any person, you have
    broken this law.

    8. Thou shall not commit adultery

    If you look a person with lustful eyes you have committed adultery.

    Adultery first happens in the heart and soul before the body does it.

    Watching pornography is adultery.

    Worship or being involved with other gods is spiritual prostitution (adultery).

    9. Thou shall not steal

    If you do not tithe nor offer offerings you have robbed God.

    10. Thou shall not covet

    If you want more than you already have, you’re not content, you’re coveting.
