Sermon 8: God’s Commandments – The Fifth Commandment
Ten laws from God were set in stone. Ten laws that God has commanded us to follow. These are the ten laws we must obey in order to stay on the path that leads to Heaven.
These ten laws have needed no amendments, no additions and no repeals. These ten laws were truly revealed to Moses by God.
God's Fifth Commandment
HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER;
IN ORDER THAT THY DAYS MAY BE PROLONGED UPON THE LAND WHICH THE LORD THY GOD GIVETH THEE.
Back in the second commandment, we are taught the importance of passing down the Laws of God to our descendants, because following these commandments will make your journey to Heaven smoother and straighter. And God makes it easy for us to comply, because He promises that, by doing so, He will show your family mercy for a thousand generations. In this commandment, we are taught that there is equal importance in the receiving of this information, the acceptance of it, and our own duty in passing it on to the generation we will influence.
It is important to God that we appreciate our families, so important that, out of only ten laws, one of them is to honor your parents so that you can have many days with them. Many beneficial days where you can learn from them and accept the inheritance they are giving you. They are teaching you of God and of our purpose in life on earth, and it is important to God that you learn from them because He wants us to enjoy what He created on earth as much as possible, even as you are learning your lessons along the way to Heaven.
We are also reminded in this commandment just how important we are to God. He has created all that we will experience in life on earth and, at the end of our journey, will bless us with the reward of a paradise in Heaven. Your father and mother brought you into being to experience His creations and that is incredibly important. God created the human race out of love and He wants us to continue for countless generations. So, it is important to appreciate that your mother and father gave you life. And, even more important than that, this commandment makes you realize just how valuable that life is.
Pay close attention to what your parents have to teach. God commands it.
