INSIGHT

Commandments Bridge God And Neighbor

  • The Ten Commandments split: first four shape our relationship with God, the last five shape our relationship with people.
  • The fifth commandment (honor in the home) bridges the two and trains both love of God and neighbor.
INSIGHT

Commandments As Directions

  • 'Commandment' in Scripture functions like instruction or prescription, not a harsh rule.
  • The Hebrew word for law implies a way to walk, guiding lost people back on course.
ADVICE

Start With Loving God

  • Love God first; that devotion produces obedience to the commandments.
  • Without love for God, obedience to moral instructions becomes unlikely and ineffective.
