Catechism Reading:

The Close of the Commandments

What does God say about all of these commandments?

He says, "I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,

punishing the children for the sin of the fathers

to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me,

but showing love to a thousand generations

of those who love Me and keep My commandments" (Exodus 20:5-6).

What does this mean?

God threatens to punish all who break these commandments.

Therefore, we should fear His wrath

and not do anything against them.

But He promises grace and every blessing

to all who keep these commandments.

Therefore, we should also love and trust in Him

and gladly do what He commands.
