The First Commandment declares we are to worship God (Yahweh/Jehovah, the Holy Triune God of the Bible) alone. The Second Commandment proclaims how we are to worship Him. Paul in Romans 1:18–32 tells us that fallen humanity’s tendency is not toward atheism but rather to idolatry. Having rejected the God who does exist, sinners are prone not … More Devotional Thought – “Images” – 08/15/2024
