Text: Ex 20:3-17,
Deut 10:12-13
God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth created mankind in His own image and for a purpose. He invested a lot in us and gave us dominion
over all the other things He created. In addition, He sent His only begotten
son, Jesus Christ, to die for us and to reconcile us to Him. Through the
bible, we see how much love God has bestowed on mankind and how He seeks to
have a relationship with mankind. While God is able to fulfil his part in the relationship,
He expects mankind to also fulfil their part.
