Only One God
Exodus 20:1-3
Target: Understanding and applying this first commandment of the 10 commandments is not just recommended. It is critically imperative. Because without clarity of who God is, one will lack the motivation and means to live a life fully set free.
Quick Reminder: Salvation is not earned by keeping the 10 commandments gal 2:16
No one can keep to 10 commandments perfectly. Gal 3:10
You break 1 commandment then all are broken. James 2:10
The 10 commandments point to our need for a Savior. Gal 3:24
Keeping the 10 commandments reveal we have a Savior. 1 Jn 2:3
Commandment #1 No Other God’s
- God Himself personally “and God spoke all these words, saying “I am the Lord your God.” V.1
- God in the highest authority “who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” V.2b
- God to be worshipped in exclusivity “you shal have no other gods before me.” V.3
Take Away: Our God has no rivals, no limitations, no needs nor wants, but is jealous of your worship, because he not only built you, but He bought you too.
