If we can’t obey the original ten commandments God gave Moses in the Old Testament (plus the two Jesus added) then we can’t please God so lets be sure we comply with those commandments first. Everyone should memorize these 12 commandments and do them. Some commandments have no comments added.
1. You shall have no other Gods before me.
Jehovah is God and He is a jealous God not wishing to share His glory. All other Gods are false and are sponsored by Satan to lead man away from the truth of the gospel message. Satan also steals the gospel from the hearts of unbelievers before it takes root so that many who hear the gospel don’t recognize the truth.
2. You shall not make any graven image.
God is Spirit and must be worshiped is Spirit. God hates idol worship using images of wood, metal and stone as gods or as a representation of God.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy. A designated day of worship and rest. Probably the commandment we disobey the most.
5. Honor your father and mother.
The only commandment where God promises a blessing to all who obey. God promises prosperity and long life.
6. You shall not kill.
All living things are made by God and we are not to kill without a good reason.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not covet.
11. You shall love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
12. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
