8. In the First Commandment we learned that throughout our life we should fear and love God and trust in Him with our whole heart; in the Second, that we should not misuse His holy name, but use it to the praise of God and the salvation of our neighbors and ourselves; in the Third, that we should diligently hear and learn God's Word, so that all our actions, our entire life, may be ordered according to it. _These three commandments relate to God. They teach us the love of God._ Now follow the other seven, which relate to our neighbor, _whom we should love as ourselves._ REMEMBER:-- _1. We sanctify our holy-day when we fear and love God that we may not despise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred._ _2. The fear and love of God will induce us to hear and read God's Word, not carelessly, but diligently and gladly, to learn it and to live according to it._ MEMORIZE:-- _He that heareth you heareth Me; and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me._ Luke 10,16. _Lord, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thine honor dwelleth._ Ps. 26,8. _Let him that is taught in the Word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things._ Gal. 6,6.
