Stairway to My Life Paradise

“You shall have no other gods before Me”(Exodus 20:3).

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:2-3).

When asked which of all the laws of Scripture is the greatest, Christ responded with the command emphasizing the supreme importance of our personal relationship with God:

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:35-38; see also Deuteronomy 6:5).

The relationship that God wants with us is that of children with their Father. “I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6:18).

It was for this purpose that Jesus Christ was born to be the Savior of mankind.

“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one [Father], for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren” (Hebrews 2:9-11).
