Theme : "The Holy God wants us to be saints"
Text : Exodus 20: 1-5
1. Then God spake all these words, saying, 2. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3. You will have no other gods before me. 4. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor any representation of the things which are above in the heavens, which are below on the earth, and which are in the waters below the earth. 5. Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, who punish the iniquity of fathers on children, even to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
Let us remember:
The Lord is a jealous God of his creation. He does not allow us to cheat on him behind his back. His holy jealousy towards Israel prompted him to allow their deportation to a rebellious nation in order to turn the hearts of the Israelites to Him. Let's reject the idea of having other gods and worshiping them. Let nothing and no one be more valiant than God; that no creature be hoisted above God. It is even forbidden to represent a creature in order to bow down to it. Whether they are terrestrial or celestial authorities, whether they are angels, whether they are dignities, whether they are princes; nothing has to take God's place even for a second. When we deify a creature of God, we are making an abomination and we lose holiness. When we worship a false god, we are doing a sacrilege; thus we lose holiness. When we doubt the works or authority of God; when we sin against the Holy Spirit; we are committing blasphemy. Never put your trust in a divine creature. Respect God and remain holy. Excellent Tuesday. Amen Alain Louz.-
