John 15:10–11
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

- The 10 Commandments
- These are not suggestions they are commands.
1. I am the Lord your God: you shall not have
strange gods before me. You shall not make
for yourself a graven image. Don’t Love
anything above God. Give adoration,
prayers and sacrifice. Don’t waste ones life
searching for happiness through idols (stuff).
(Mt 4:10, 22:36-38; Mk 7:22)
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord
your God in vain. No saying “oh my God…” or
blasphemy, cursing and perjury,
