“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” — 1 John 4:8, NIV Love is not only something God does; it is who He is, and those who truly know Him learn to love as He does.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor” — Exodus 20:17, NIV This commandment teaches that God cares about what we want, not only what we do, and He calls us to be content.
Jesus is both God and the Son of God. These are not two different answers. Christians did not invent the title “Son of God.” God gave it, through the angel Gabriel, through His own voice from heaven and through Jesus Himself. It does not mean that God had a biological child with a wife. Did you know that this was the very first question asked about the title? Mary asked it of the angel Gabriel, and he answered it.
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor” — Exodus 20:16, NIV This commandment teaches that what we say about other people must be true, because every person’s good name matters to God.
“You shall not steal” — Exodus 20:15, NIV This commandment teaches that respecting what belongs to others is part of loving God and loving our neighbor.
