In the book of Exodus we read about 10 very special and important rules. These are called the Ten Commandments. God told Moses to give the people of Israel these special rules to follow and obey.
OBEYING IS . . .
The closer a Christian follows the Bible, the less stressed out they are and happier they are.
The first (4) four rules are about our relationship with God.
The fifth rule is about our relationship with our parents, and
the last (5) five are about rules to have good relationships with other people.
God's Commandments were set forward as follows in Exodus 20:
*

I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, YOU SHALL HAVE no other gods BEFORE ME. |
II |
YOU SHALL NOT MISUSE THE NAME OF THE LORD YOUR GOD. |
III |

VII |
YOU SHALL NOT STEAL. |
VIII |
YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE TESTIMONY AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR. |
