The first commandment is made incredibly personal the word you are used. This command is addresses to each person and individual. “You will have no other God’s before me”
The first comandment is made incrredibly personal the word you is used. This comad is addresses to each person and individual. “You will have no other God’s before me”
This command still is in place today it was not given for only Israel we know this for a few reasons.
God is still God today and he is the same God as he was in the Old testament, and He still requires our worship
As long as God loves the world and Christ is the savior of the world we need to obey this commandment, and last time I checked those two items will never end.
I. What is forbidden
I. What is forbidden
A. Man is not to set himself up as God
a. do not deny God, declaring there is no God(atheism)

D
God’s command makes a demand “You shall have no other God’s before me
a. We are to set no Gods before the Lord
b. We are to set no Gods beside the Lord
d. God and God alone holds his place as the Lord.
If we set up anything that rivals interest in our hearts and minds anything that takes our love and service which belongs only to God, we have broken this commandment.
a. a proud man who idolizes himself makes himself God
b. the ambitious man who pays homage to popular applause makes his ambition and the praise of men is His God
c. the covetous person who craves money and things makes a God out of money and things
d. the greedy person who hoards possessions makes possessions his god
e. the glutton who craves food and makes eating his God
f. weather husband, wife, mother or father who seta his supreme affection on a person loved instead of upon God makes that person his God.
in all of these Isiah 42:8 applies God does not share , nor should he his glory
(on Power point)
8 I am the Lord. That is my name, and I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.
In His epistle to the Corinthians Paul wrote:
(on Power point)
5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—6 yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from him, and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.
1 Cor 8:5
We can make a God out of anything that we esteem or love, fear or serve more than God. Whatever the heart clings to that a person’s god.
It may be oneself, many people focus on pleasing and satisfying themselves they live their own values and our concerned primarily with their own feelings, comfort, desires, and pleasures. they simply live like they want doing their own thing they have exalted themselves to be their own gods. Gods are made out of many things
-animals
-family-money
-sports
-position
-carear
-posesions
-ext.
A god can be anything or anyone we put before GOD. God and God alone deserve our allegiance, he does not share this as we see in the firs commandment
(on Power point)
3 Do not have other gods besides me.

II. Consequences for not obeying this command.

c. The person that does not follow God lives a life that is detestable to God

-Either you follow God or you follow idols

11 Has a nation ever exchanged its gods? (But they were not gods!) Yet my people have exchanged their Glory for useless idols.
c. The person who does not follow God experiences a life of emptiness
32 Despite all this, they kept sinning and did not believe his wondrous works. 33 He made their days end in futility, their years in sudden disaster.
11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.
Ps 78:3
d. The person who does not follow God lives a life of hopelessness
12 At that time you were without Christ, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.
e. The person who does not follow God lives a life that is enslaved to sin
8 But in the past, since you didn’t know God, you were enslaved to things that by nature are not gods. 9 But now, since you know God, or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elements? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?
f. The person who does not follow God lives a life that denies truth
5 holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people.

12 The seed along the path are those who have heard and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy. Having no root, these believe for a while and fall away in a time of testing.

4 In their case, the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
k. The person who does not follow God lives a life of ungodly lusts
3 Above all, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days scoffing and following their own evil desires, 4 saying, “Where is his ‘coming’ that he promised? Ever since our ancestors fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.” 5 They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water.

IV. Benefits of keeping this commandment.
The person who believes God will be saved
16 For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
