THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Exodus 20: 1-21
A brief COMMENTS The 10 Commandments OS
INTRODUCTION:
Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words saying:
Exo 20:2 "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage (of slavery).
The 10 Commandments OS:
1 Exo 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before Me.
Exo 20:4 2 "You shall not make any idols (graven image), or any likeness of what is up in heaven or on earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
 In the Old Testament had many idols as gods Baal. Today the Virgin Mary and other saints. But Christians have idols or gods of many forms of idols. From an athlete to electronics. Without which we can not live many times ... All of this is sin. God must be worshiped in all our lives. - Mat 4:10 Then Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan, it is written, worship the Lord your God and serve him only.


Exo 20:5 "Do not worship them (not bow down to them) nor serve (or the honor). 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;
When I was going to the Catholic Church would kneel before images of the Virgin and Saints especially. - And sometimes kissed the images, there were some images of the virgin that many people will kiss and at the same place, the foot sometimes. -! ! THAT SIN!


Exo 20:6 but showing love to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
Within the law itself mentions his mercy God .. But what would become of us? That would be good if the people of our cities are owners of this mercy of God which is by faith in Christ. -


3 - Exo 20:7 "You shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
When we speak of God spiritually we have to get us the shoes of his feet, we can not speak of God in vain conversations, jokes can never put the name of God.-I see the habit of always naming him for anything. -


Exo 20:8 4 "Remember the Sabbath day holy.
Exo 20:9 "Six days you shall labor and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. You shall not do him any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is with you.
Exo 20:11 "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
It is a type of Christ, rest on faith that when we believe in Christ as our savior and we become. Here we enter into his rest Hebrews ch. 4. -
While not a substitute on Sunday to Saturday OT but has something in common which is the day dedicated to the Lord, when Christians meet, and that Christ rose on the first day of the week. By then the early Christians met that day and later that day Constantine legalized as a holiday. Today on Sunday dedicated Christians for worshiping God in churches and in addition to worship God in the churches are preaching, teaching and many other ministries. - We can not miss Sunday at the church. - 1 Corinthians 16:2 I the first day of the week, each one of you should set aside as he may prosper, so that when I come no collections will offerings.


5 Exo 20:12 "Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you.
It is the first commandment with promise, the Lord prolong our days on earth as it is such a great blessing. - Ephesians 6:2 HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER (which is the first commandment with promise),
 Parents love our brothers, Perto not mean to follow them when they ask you abandon God, let the Gospel. Well written also this: Mat 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of me.


6 Exo 20:13 "You shall not kill (not murder).
Already in the OT This was severely punished by death. From Gen 9:5 "And surely require it of the blood of your lives; of every beast will I require. And every man, every man's brother will I require the life of man.
Gen 9:6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made man. " Now the authorities had power to give death penalty to criminals when the law required the death penalty for the crime committed, in this book of Exodus can be read death penalty in Jewish law. On whether today we support the death penalty, well we are in the new covenant. Today we want to save souls not to lose them as the Lord said., Luke 19:10. -


7 Exo 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery.
Important commandment that makes us different from animals without these commandments What would the family? And the family is so important to the development of a good society. -
He was always a sin so today. And apparently it is getting worse in the world. Marriage is not respected. We know that many become being in this situation, then often have to regulate it if they think marriage forever live as 1Cor 7:20 Each one should remain in the condition it was called.
In the world falls ever more the institution of marriage. Something that was ordained by God Matt. 19:6 Therefore, they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together let no man put asunder.
Christians must cultivate a healthy marriage. This is aside from any computer pornography and elsewhere, and not give ourselves ever youthful lusts 2Ti 2:22 Flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with which call on the Lord with a pure heart.




8 Exo 20:15 "You shall not steal.
Also another important commandment for a good society, living together in harmony. - It is an evil of every age, and children when I send my children to high school that I go away for their helpful, there were times I always had to buy the same things.
In our cities are neighborhoods where thefts are part of every day, others not. When you go to buy a house or land have to be careful of that. - The time that you go out and places where one goes, the city where one goes, all you have to be careful and have to walk with prayer . There are especially big cities where you get mugged in broad daylight. To live in the world today must live with great wisdom of God, for in this world do not respect God's commandment not to steal, steal. -
When my wife was pregnant with my first child went down in a Brazilian city called Uruguayaza where daylight robbery threatened us. I said then that it was a neighborhood where you can not walk freely. You have to know where you go and with great faith. To us played the thief did not have a weapon but under your shirt we pointed the finger as if he had a gun, I went ahead and ignored God protected us we spent nothing. Missionary In my life I spent about three times where I saw something like the full protection of God. Once we lived in a barium still virtually no light and saw a man coming largaba armed and shots, and when he got home he appears but a policeman and gave him a reprimand ... This was a divine intervention, God was wonderful as always. The safest place is to live next to or attached to God in this world of delinquencies. -


9 Exo 20:16 "You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
It is a very common sin in the world, in our society. There are many enemies, and when you speak false things rivalry of another, the worst among Christians is when this happens, can happen between Christian? I think if our flesh or human nature is also terrible, so we must have it crucified. -


10 Exo 20:17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. Not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, his ox or his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor."
Greed is the desire deep, loud and bitter about having something someone else has or big upset by things that others have also sin so common in this world and can happen in the Christian environment, God willing, we always find the contentment that God gives us.
