1st Statement:
I AM THE LORD YOU GOD WHO TOOK YOU OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT,
OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE. (Exodus 20: 2)
It is so important that none of the other commandments would make sense without
it.
Why?
1. It asserts the authority by whom the commandments are given. That God is
the law giver, not Moses, not any other human being. So that no one can
question, because the Ultimate Authority is the One that established it, above
any king or any principality.
a. We need to know and not only believe that something is wrong.
b. By just opinionated belief, we might not share the same view with
others.
2. God is the One who delivered us from slavery, not Moses, not any other
human being.

Importance
-
For most of history, humans are beasts of burden, we work to eat, work
to live.
But, this commandment and only this commandment changed that, by
insisting that people cease working one day out of seven.
Reality:
THE ONES WHO BELIEVE THAT THE COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN BY GOD
ARE THE ONES WHO KEPT THE SABBATH ALIVE.
Key Importance:
JUST AS FAITH IN GOD BRINGS PEOPLE TO OBSERVING THE SABBATH,
OBSERVING THE SABBATH BRINGS PEOPLE TO FAITH IN GOD
EVERYTIME YOU OBSERVE THE SABBATH, YOU ARE AFFIRMING THAT THERE IS
A CREATOR, THAT THE WORLD DIDNT JUST HAPPEN, THAT LIFE ISNT A
MEANINGLESS COINCIDENCE BUT THAT IT IS INFINITELY MEANINGFUL AND
THEREFORE EACH OF US HAS A UNIQUE SIGNIFICANCE AND PURPOSE.

9th Commandment
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY
NEIGHBOR.
Almost all of the societal evils are because of lies such as:
- Black slavery- based on lies that blacks are inferior
- Nazism- based on the lies that jews are inferior to arians
- Communism- (share video on the channels of npas)
Mass evil is committed not because people are inherently evil, but because
they are fed with lies that convince them. Example: Satan.
