Directions:<br />
Justice means giving God and neighbor their due. Complete the chart with at<br />
least one example of how each commandment reveals God’s desire for justice. A<br />
couple have been done for you.<br />
The Commandments<br />
1 I am the LORD your God, who brought you<br />
out of the land of Egypt, out of the house<br />
of slavery.<br />
You shall not have other gods beside me.<br />
How does this commandment reveal<br />
God’s desire for justice?<br />
Because God is God, the only true God,<br />
he is due all our love and respect. Our<br />
faith leads us to love Him about all else,<br />
and to prefer nothing to Him.<br />
DEUTERONOMY 5:6-7<br />
2 You shall not invoke the name of the LORD,<br />
your God, in vain.<br />
DEUTERONOMY 5:11A<br />
3 Observe the sabbath day—keep it holy.<br />
DEUTERONOMY 5:12A<br />
4 Honor your father and your mother.<br />
DEUTERONOMY 5:16A<br />
5 You shall not kill.<br />
DEUTERONOMY 5:17<br />
6 You shall not commit adultery.<br />
DEUTERONOMY 5:18<br />
Married love is total and self-giving. The<br />
spouses do not have this relationship<br />
with anyone else. A wife is due her<br />
husband’s exclusive love, and vice-versa.<br />
