A Proper Balance

Interestingly, the Ten Commandments are divided into two sections. The first four commandments have to do with our relationship with God, while the final six deal with our relationship with others.
If we really love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, and minds, then we will not want to have another god before Him, worship an idol, or take His name in vain. And if we love our neighbors as we love ourselves, then we won’t want to steal from them, kill them, or covet something that belongs to them.
The idea is that if we can get this basic truth of loving God down, then everything else will find the proper place.
