1st commandment
"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me."
Often times this list of rules is looked at as only a list of rules. They are rules, but there is more to it then just a set of things that are set in place to make your life harder. About a month ago, I received a revelation from the Holy Spirit. That revelation was about the grace that God shows us in all things. One of those things was about the Ten Commandments.
This is the first on the list and is considered the most important command that the Lord gives us. You may be wondering how there is grace in this rule, it is just about putting God first and it doesn't help me. God gives us this as our starting and finishing point in the law. If you follow this law you will be making God the most important thing in your life and by default you will obey the other laws. That is His grace. He made it so all we have to do is follow Him and we would be saved. If I stoped here my point will have been made. However I like details and I have 9 more days and 9 more commandments to go. So be sure to come back and read more tomorrow. *MERRY CHRISTMAS*
