You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: The introduction to the Ten Commandments establishes the identity of God by both his personal name and his historical act of delivering Israel from Egypt.

The language and pattern reflects that of ancient royal treaties in which a great king identified himself and his previous gracious acts toward a subject king or people. Establishing his identity through the use of the proper name, Yahweh , and his mighty acts in history distinguishes Yahweh from the gods of Egypt which were judged in the killing of Egypt's firstborn Exodus 12 and from the gods of Canaan, the gods of the gentile nations, and the gods that are worshipped as idols, starry hosts, or things found in nature, and the gods known by other proper names.

By saying, "I am the L ORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery", it introduces him by name to establish his authority behind the stipulations that follow. This verse also serves as the motive clause for the following imperatives. The text follows an ancient royal treaty pattern, where the speaking monarch begins by identifying himself by name and notable deeds.

Yahweh thus establishes his position relative to the Israelites, who are expected to render complete submission, allegiance, and obedience to him. Jesus quotes Deuteronomy when tempted to worship Satan in exchange for all the kingdoms of the world. Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: Jesus repeats the Shema as the most important commandment:. Those who eat food sacrificed to idols are rebuked. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy?

Are we stronger than he? The New Testament asserts that God brings consequences to those who worship other gods.

Adoring God, praying to him, offering him the worship that belongs to him, fulfilling the promises and vows made to him are acts of the virtue of religion which fall under obedience to the first commandment. There will be no other God…nor was there from eternity any other existing …but He who made and disposed all this universe. Nor do we think that there is one God for us [Christians], another for you [Jews], but that He alone is God who led your fathers out from Egypt with a strong hand and a high arm.

Nor have we trusted in any other for there is no other , but in Him in whom you also have trusted, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. The first commandment embraces faith, hope, and charity. It follows that we must necessarily accept his words and have complete faith in him and acknowledge his authority. He is almighty, merciful, and infinitely beneficent. Who could not place all hope in him? Who could not love him when contemplating the treasures of goodness and love he has poured out on us?

Hence the formula God employs in the Scripture at the beginning and end of his commandments: Therefore, if we are contented with one God, let us call to mind what was formerly observed, that all fictitious gods are to be driven far away, and that the worship which he claims for himself is not to be mutilated.

1 John 1:5

Not a particle of his glory is to be withheld: Martin Luther describes the first commandment as prohibiting both the literal honoring of other gods as well as trusting in idols of the heart: Thus, for example, the heathen who put their trust in power and dominion elevated Jupiter as the supreme god; the others, who were bent upon riches, happiness, or pleasure, and a life of ease, Hercules, Mercury, Venus or others; women with child, Diana or Lucina, and so on; thus every one made that his god to which his heart was inclined, so that even in the mind of the heathen to have a god means to trust and believe.

But their error is this that their trust is false and wrong for it is not placed in the only God, besides whom there is truly no God in heaven or upon earth. Cat Islam's Peace Train.
