Question 10: What Does God Require in the Fourth and Fifth Commandments?

The two commandments before us are unique among the Ten. Only the Fourth and Fifth Commandments are not prohibitions. God prohibits idolatry, blaspheme, adultery, theft, and the others because He knows that we will commit such sins when given the opportunity. Likewise, He commands us to rest and to honor our father and mother because He knows that we will not do those things naturally. For more resources for knowing and loving God's Word, visit bcnewton.co
