Consider This
We are part of God's family, His precious children.
Read Question 15. What are the Ten Commandments?
Read Question 16. What is God's will for our lives?
Jesus gives us the "house rules" for God's family in Matthew 22:36–40.
God
has
a
plan
for
me
as
His
human
creature.
I can understand that God's plan is for me to love Him and my neighbor
and to fear, love, and trust in God.
You shall have no other gods.
What does this mean?
We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things.
