Moses

Helen Wood Bauman

Do you know the Ten Commandments? A man named Moses, a Hebrew, wrote them down long ago. But he didn't make them up. He said when he told the people about them, "God spake all these words."^{Ex. 20:1;}

The Ten Commandments are laws for governing people. Other nations around the Hebrews had laws, but they were made up by kings, or rulers. And their laws were often changed when a new king was made ruler. But the Ten Commandments have never changed, and they never will. When we obey them, we are doing God's will. We are letting His laws govern us. And this is the true way to worship Him.

Moses was the first person to show people how to worship God by obeying His Commandments. When we obey these Commandments, they protect us. We are always safe when we are obedient to them. When everyone in the world learns to obey God, there will be peace everywhere. Everybody will respect everybody else, and there won't be any more fights.
