Exodus 20:1 - 20:12 (Commandments 1-4)

ExodusSteve Gregg
In Steve Gregg's commentary on Exodus 20:1-12, he highlights the first four commandments as focusing on loving God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength. The concepts of morality and love are intertwined, and the moral laws reflect God's character. The third commandment warns against taking God's name in vain, and the fourth commandment instructs to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, although it is a ceremonial law rather than a moral one.
