1st Commandment- In Depth

“You shall have no other gods before me”

This is a very powerful Commandment, set as part of a Covenant between God and Moses. This First Commandment focuses on you respecting your God, and being able to distinguish Idols from God. Any defiance towards this Commandment is a mortal sin, that of which is harder for God to forgive. You require true and full repentance for this.
