GOD's simple commandments

[Chad]

Have you ever thought how enormous the "Book of Life" is? The Truth is, aside all the great stories, the parables, the prophecies and the rest - GOD's commandments are summed down into 10 parts, hence the Ten Commandments.

GOD put the entire laws of life into 10 simple commandments. They are not always easy to obey and abide by, but they are set forth so simple, so small and straightforward that no man could complain that GOD is too difficult on us or too hard to be obedient to.

The Ten Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20.

"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.

See how simple the list is? I suggest you print it out, decorate it to your liking (design wise to match your room decor and hang this on your wall or place it on your desk - anywhere visible.

The commandments still apply today as they did yesterday. GOD is the same today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow.
