1. You shall have no other gods before Me<br /><br />This commandment establishes exclusive devotion to God. It forbids elevating anything above God. Such as praying to saints who have already passed away, for example. This is something that you should never do, because we should pray to God the Father only like Jesus Himself used to do. And God must come first in every aspect of life as well. <br /><br />2. You shall not make for yourself an idol<br /><br />God prohibits creating or worshiping images, statues, or physical representations of divine beings. The idea is that God is invisible to humans and cannot be reduced to an object. For example, some people worship the cross of Jesus, and that practice can block their access to heaven. Worship must be directed to God alone, not to created objects. <br /><br />3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain<br /><br />This commandment forbids using God’s name carelessly, disrespectfully, deceitfully, or part of a joke for example.
