First Commandments First
“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 1: 24, 25
Served the creature more than the Creator? Who does this? Well most everyone you know including some professing or backslidden Christians.
Even those who have trodden under foot the Son of the Living God profess and/or practice the second greatest commandment with out any regard to the greatest commandment.
First. Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Second. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Even Communists and Socialists live and build their governments around the second commandment. Unsaved neighbors generally love their neighbors with no respect to the God of the AV1611 Holy Bible.
But, when you obey the second greatest commandment without regard to the first commandment and the order in which they are given to be obeyed, you are guilty of serving and worshipping the creature more than the Creator. And so goes the world!
(Psalms 82:5-7) “They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. {6} I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. {7} But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”
(John 8:43-45) “Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. {44} Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. {45} And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.”
And I say AMEN!
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
