SERVING
ONE GOD By Justus Ondieki
Hello and
welcome to our 59th Edition of the Good News Magazine. In this
edition we are going to focus more on which God you serve. Well, from the above title, you will agree
with me that there are other gods that people serve other than the true One God
whom we should serve. From the very beginning, God knew that men will worship
other gods and turn away from Him. That is why He had to give the Ten
Commandments which were to guide the children of Israel in the right way.
Let’s see what
what Exodus 20:3-5 says, Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Now,
the first four of the Ten Commandments, tell our duty to God. It was fit that
those should be put first, because man had a Maker to love, before he had a
neighbor to love. The first commandment concerns the object of worship,
JEHOVAH, and Him only. The worship of creatures is here forbidden. Whatever comes
short of perfect love, gratitude, reverence, or worship, breaks this
commandment. Whatsoever ye do, do all for the glory of God.
