The Ten Demandments

Book excerpt: In the Old Testament, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, and in the New Testament, Jesus gave his disciples the two great commandments—to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. But since we know what God expects from us, what should we expect from our husbands, wives, and children? Moreover, what should we expect from ourselves? The Ten Demandments offers an inspiring and encouraging collection of the ten commandments—or demandments—that every husband, wife, and child should expect and demand of each other and themselves. It outlines all the demands, promises, and rules that every Christian relationship and household needs. The Ten Demandments provides ten inspiring demandments for each relationship in a faithful Christian home—husbands to wives, wives to husbands, parents to children, and even children to parents—offering biblically sound advice for keeping these promises. And even more, it helps each person keep ten demandments of themselves, reminding us to especially keep God first in our lives. Keeping God’s commandments is always important, and today we can also promise to hold ourselves accountable to our husbands, wives, and children with The Ten Demandments. By doing our parts and honoring the expectations of our loved ones, we can glorify and honor God, deepening our personal relationship with him.
