The TENder Commandments Love For God Must Be Sincere Sermon The TENder Commandments Exodus 20:7 Love For God Must Be Sincere

The Ten Commandments ARE NOT About What God wants FROM US, But What He Wants FOR US.

Remember that THE TEN COMMANDMENTS are SOMEONE we meet before they are something we obey.  

The context of the Ten Commandments is to be understood as a Covenant commitment ceremony.

Love for God is Singular– EXCLUSIVE Love for God is spiritual Stipulations Related To Loving God Love for God is Singular– EXCLUSIVE Love for God is spiritual Love for God is Sincere

  "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.” Exodus 20:7 (NASB)

The obvious: This is serious -There is a sober warning - Lord’s Prayer ”Hallowed be Thy Name”

THE OBVIOUS -Profanity -Blasphemy -Irreverence about God and life in general -Heresy

Less obvious -Vain repetition in prayer or using God’s name as a punctuation mark -Spiritual presumption -Prayer in Jesus name but its’ your own desire -Flippant use of the name of God or “Jesus”

Even less obvious -Hypocrisy A Dangerous Example of Hypocrisy Matt 7:15-23

-These people are orthodox in their beliefs; they called Jesus Lord. -They also have emotional engagement. -Not only do they have doctrinal correctness and are emotionally engaged, but they are also very, active

What does it means to take God's name in sincerity? The intimate relationship.   Submission to the will of the one whose name you are using.

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 

8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

THE THIRD COMMANDMENT AND ROOTS, BRANCHES, FRUIT  

The ABC’s of coming to faith – A - Admit that you’re weak and need grace and strength – That means there is GOOD NEWS FOR YOU   B- Believe that Jesus is the only savior who can heal your heart. C- confess to God that you want to trust Jesus as your savior and Lord.
