"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
My friend, are you ready to be weighed against this commandment? Have
you fulfilled, or are you willing to fulfil, all the requirements of
this law? Put it into one of the scales, and step into the other. Is
your heart set upon God alone? Have you no other God? Do you love Him
above father or mother, the wife of your bosom, your children, home or
land, wealth or pleasure?
If men were true to this commandment, obedience to the remaining nine
would follow naturally. It is because they are unsound in this that
they break the others.
