ABC’s of the Christian Life for Youth
God wants us to be good boys and girls and depart from evil. Evil
is anything that is displeasing to God or makes God unhappy. God
does not like evil or sin. He wants us to act right and not act wrong.
God even commanded us not to do wrong things. Look what
God says in Exodus chapter 20. We call these the ten com-
mandments which help us depart from evil.
1. Exodus 20:3, “Thou shalt have no other g__ __ __ before me.”
God should always be first in your life no matter what
you are doing. Keep God first! Anything else that takes the
#1 place besides God is wrong.
2. Exodus 20:4-5 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any g__ __ __ __ __
image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that
is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth: Thou shalt not b__ __ down thyself to them, nor
s__ __ __ __ them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;”
We should never worship any person or anything but God. Not
even statues about God.
3. Exodus 20:7, “Thou shalt not take the n__ __ __ of the LORD thy
God in v__ __ __ ; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that
taketh his name in vain.”
We should never say God’s name when we do not mean it re-
spectfully. We should never curse God’s name either. God is holy and
deserves our respect all the time. Cursing, swearing and saying bad,
dirty and off color words are wrong.
4. Exodus 20:8, “Remember the sabbath d__ __ , to keep it
h__ __ __ .”
God had a time made for men to stop, rest, and think about God.
That day was a Saturday back then. Today we spend Sunday as our
day to stop, rest, and think about God because Jesus Christ arose on
Sunday. Keep Sunday holy and special to yourself.
5. Exodus 20:12, “Honour thy f __ __ __ __ __ and thy
m__ __ __ __ __ : that thy days may be long upon the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee.”
God told us to obey our parents and do the right thing. Disobey-
ing God is done by disobeying our parents.
6. Exodus 20:13, “Thou shalt not k__ __ __ .”
We should never even think about taking someone else’s life. The
Bible says that hating someone is as bad as murder. (See I John 3:15).
7. Exodus 20:14, “Thou shalt not commit a__ __ __ __ __ __ __ .”
We should be true to the one we marry for all of our life. Keeping
ourselves pure now for the one we marry in the future will help us
depart from evil. We are told to not even touch someone of the oppo-
site sex in I Corinthians 7:1.
8. Exodus 20:15, “Thou shalt not s__ __ __ __ .”
Taking something that is not ours is wrong. Even if we borrow
something without permission, it is stealing. It does not mat-
ter how big or how small an object is that we take. It is
wrong to steal.
9. Exodus 20:16, “Thou shalt not b__ __ __ f__ __ __ __
witness against thy neighbour.”
We should never lie. God wants us to depart from it.
Not telling the whole truth is lying. Always say the whole
truth all the time. God knows your thoughts.
10. Exodus 20:17, “Thou shalt not c__ __ __ __ ...”
Covet means to want something that belongs to someone else.
God wants us to be satisfied with what we have
and not worry about what other people own. Do
not ask to have things that you do not need. God
wants us to depart from coveting.
The devil is evil. When we do a lot of evil things we are acting like
the Devil - not God. Try to be like God. Depart from evil! Ask God
for His help today.
