[Basic] The Passover (2) - The Passover, God's First Commandment


Usually people know that God's first commandment is to worship only God based on Ten Commandment of Moses.

Ex 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me."

Yes, it is true. Then I want to ask them how they can prove to worship only God and how much they assure that God approves of them.

In the New Testament times when one of the Pharisees who was an expert in the law tested Him what was the first and greatest commandment, Jesus answered them as follows:

Mt 22:36~37 Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment."

Between the words from God the Father and from Jesus look different but the same.



The way to keep the first commandment that we shall have no other gods before God the Father in the time of Moses and the way to keep the first and greatest commandment that we love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul and mind is the same; that is to keep the Passover.

Through the Passover, LORD God stroke down throughout the land of slavery and brought judgment on all the gods of Egypt and at last Israelites could worship only God. They witnessed the first commandment was fulfilled.

Mt 26:26~28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Through the Passover, Jesus praises us that we do love Him with all our heart, soul and mind. It is the essential word of observance that the sign on our hand and the reminder on our forehead given by God we are to keep year after year until we go the kingdom of heaven.

[Mother] Who Do You Take After?

Lets Us Make Man in Our Image and in Our Likeness I've often heard from birth that I really take after my mother. People used to compare my mom and me when I was a baby, pointing to my eyes, nose and mouth, my mom was pleased to hear what people were saying. I was glad that my mom was smiling and be pleasant because I took after my mom and it made her happy. Ge 1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. I was born of the image of God, especially the female image of God. Thus When compared God and me, pointing to my eyes, nose and mouth, I should really take after God. 2Co 6:18 I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. I call the male image of God a Father. I call the female image of God a Mother. I call God Elohim Heavenly Parents. I'm happy to be Their child, as a daughter. I'm happy They call me 'a daughter', even the beloved ch...

Mr. Smile - The source of the water of life, God the mother.

The bible testifies about our Savior. (Jn 5:39) Only the bible is the standard that we distinguish truly our God. Whom does the bible testify about as the Savior in the age of Spirit? Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. Rev 22:17 says that the Spirit and the Bride are Gods. Because They give us the water of life, the eternal life. Everyone knows the Spirit refers to God the Father.  Then who is the Bride who gives the eternal life along with God the Father? Some people insist that bride is church [Saint]. But there is no verse that church [saint] gives the water of life. Rev 21:9-10 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."  And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain g...
