Diligently obey them. They will benefit you.

As a family, know them and follow them. Better for the children. Better for the grandchildren.

As a community, learn the lessons and live. It is better than suffering and dying.

Even if you believe not in them, it will still benefit all to follow them. It is not magic. It isn’t even religious. They are the gift provided by God because He loves us and they are not intended as a straight jacket.

When we rebel, it is our own fault we suffer. Murder, lying, theft and adultery all leads to destruction. Being jealous of others leads to theft, adultery and murder. Idols, what good are they? Who has benefited from them other than those seeking deception by making and selling them.

Think about it, if it can be made and or sold, what power can it possess, other than that from Satan or the demons.

Who else but God has provided such a great gift for us?

Why or for what reason should we act so spiteful to Him?

Yet, we do. Even those of us that know better. Oddly, it seems we must relearn the lessons we have all learned before. Fortunately, he forgives us, over and over again.

However… there is one thing God will not forgive anyone. If anyone dies not believing in Jesus as his or her savior, he will forever suffer for every sin ever he or she committed. All will learn the lesson eventually. No one should wait until after they die. At that point it will be too late, no matter how good a life he or she lived.
