The Importance of the First Commandment

In today's world all of us probably know more about pop culture than we know about our own religion. Most of us have either forgotten or never realized what the First Commandment meant and what it even is. The First Commandment pretty much says to keep God number before anything else. In Today's world most of us have other people ahead of God such as celebrities, athletes, and musicians. We can admire these people but we should really keep God on the top of this list.

  When we do things like this, it is a sin, because they first commandment clearly states "And God spoke all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. We as must live by the First Commandment in order to honor God and His good deeds. God gave us this commandment as a way to love and honor him and we should follow this commandment as a way of showing our love. We need to have theological virtues.

        

 The First Commandment should be important to teenagers because it's what will set us apart from everyone else. There is a strong tradition in Christianity of reading this commandment.  We have the responsibility not only as believers in God, responsibilities not only as believers in God but also as Christians to live by this commandment.

Before Jesus came and saved us all, people used to worship all kinds of phony  gods. Which is one of the reasons Jesus stepped in. The Canaanite goddess of love and fertility, Asherah, was one false god worshiped by the people in the past. After Jesus came around is when people started to be told the truth. I feel we need someone to step in and give us a reality check and tells us the truth.

 

What we need to learn is that there in no one will do what God has done for us, and is continuing to do each day. God has a plan for each of us and this plan included loving him and spreading His word. No other person can do what he can do and the more we learn to accept the better off we will be in life and the afterlife. As God's children we must spread the good news. We must respect what our society was built on. We have to put all our faith in God and not believe in Superstition like Magic.
