_1. God is our Lord. He has a right to give us His commandments, and it
is our duty to obey Him. He is a jealous God, who will see to it that
His Law is fulfilled._
_2. God threatens to punish all who hate Him and transgress His
commandments. Fear His wrath and do not act contrary to His holy will._
_3. God promises grace and every blessing to all who love Him and keep
His commandments. Love and trust Him, and willingly do according to His
will._
