The 3rd Commandment
EXODUS 20:7
God’s name is the most valuable thing there is. It’s the revelation of who he is, the story of what he’s done, and the means by which we personally relate to him. There’s nothing more precious, but each and every one of us has treated it like it’s worthless. We’ve taken the name of the Lord in vain and made light of the most glorious and weighty thing in the world. The 3rd Commandment calls us to take God seriously. Teaching us we must not mar his good name through our bad actions. Forbidding us not to misuse his holy name through careless or empty words. But instead, calling us to treat his name with reverence.T o bear his mark as faithful representatives. And be ambassadors for the “name above all names” - the name of King Jesus.
