UNHOLINESS OF IDOLATRY AND IT’S NEXUS WITH IMMORALITY.
IDOLATRY IS DEPARTURE FROM GOD AND DESPISING HIM
And God spoke all these words, saying:
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.
You shall not make for yourselves a carved image – any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,
or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God .In it you shall do no work:
you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle,
nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
IMMORALITY IS DEMEANING AND DEFILING HUMANITY.
Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.
THE LAW WAS OUR TUTOR TO BRING US TO CHRIST THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH.
BEHOLD! THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD!
IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU SHALL BE SAVED.
