Series: The Original Top Ten List

Exodus 20:12

Message Truth: God is very interested in our relationships. Our relationship to Him is covered by the first four commandments. However, He is also concerned with our human relationships (covered in the next six commandments). Basic to all other human relationships is the relationship that we have to other members of our family. How we relate to each other as family members will influence the way we relate to others beyond our family.
Introduction: A poll conducted by Family Circle magazine found that most adults in this country think they are better morally than others. The survey questions had to do with how well respondents follow the Ten Commandments and how well they think their fellow citizens do. When asked about each of the commandments one at a time, a much higher percentage of people said they obeyed it in comparison to the number who thought their neighbors did so. For example;
• 81% claimed they followed the first commandment by worshipping only the one true God but said that only 49% of other people did.
• using God's name in vain 64% vs. 15%,
• keeping the Sabbath 64% vs. 22%,
• honoring parents 95% vs. 49%,
• committing adultery 86% vs. 45%,
• stealing 90% vs. 54%,
• and coveting 76% vs. 23%.
