The Ten Commandments | The Second Commandment
Read This
“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.”
Exodus 20:1-17
Remember This
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:37-39
Think About This
The words we use are important. Everything we say is either bringing life or death. We all feel this and know this. Our words are either being used to build up or tear down. Be intentional with our words. They are a reflection of ourselves and God. We should use our words in a way that honors Him.
Remember This Too:
You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God.
What does this mean?
We should fear and love God so that we do not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks.
