GOD SAID "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR GOD"
Ex 20: 1-7After leading his people Israel out of Egypt, God gave the Ten Commandments to his people he loved. When we speak of the Ten Commandments we have tendendy to feel it is very heavy. But when we think of it with prayer, we can summaries in one word: love.
1) God punishes those who hate (1-5)
God is the God of power with which he delivered Israel from the hand of Pharaoh. It is therefore natural that the people of God do not like material things but he loves his God (Luke 16: 18). Material goods are things that God created. What happen if we love material goods, instead of their Creator. We must love God the Creator. The men make idols with material goods. Materialism today is the greatest enemy of God. How God punishes the idols of material goods? (5)
2) God blesses those who love him (6-7)
God is full of love for his people out of Egypt, and sacrified his only son all sinners. He must not love material things but to love God with all our heart. So in the end, the commandments are not things very heavy. But the final problem is to love material goods or idols made with them or you love God (Mt 36: 38).
Let us pray: We love the property. Have mercy on us so that we did not like material things but God. Forgive Koreans who don't like missionaries but rather what is in the pocket of the missionaries. Help us to love God with all our heart.
One Word: the commandment of love (1)
