The first among the Ten Commandments is, “You shall have no other gods before me.” This is the first commandment that God gave to His people when He proclaimed the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. In the New Testament times, Jesus Christ said that the first commandment is to love God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind. This is sometimes called the “the greatest commandment.” However, the New and Old Testaments do not conflict with each other in regard to the first commandment. It is because if we love God with all our heart, we will only serve God and no other gods. There are not many people who fully understand the first commandment. There are even less people who know how to fulfill the first commandment. In the Old Testament, the Israelites, who were proud of their faith in God and love for Him, very frequently worshiped other gods and idols. The first commandment cannot be fulfilled through human thoughts and methods. The way we can worship only God and love Him without worshiping other gods is to keep God’s commandment, the Passover.
