LESSON 12.
Review.
1. We have studied the Ten Commandments. Who gave us these commandments?
In all His commandments God tells us His holy will; He tells us what we
should do and not do. Why should we gladly obey Him? What is our
Father's will according to the _First Commandment?_ When do we regard
God as our God? When do we show that we fear and love Him? What does it
mean to trust in God? What sin do we commit if we fear and love any one
more than the true God?
2. Which is the _Second Commandment?_ Our Catechism begins the
explanation of every commandment after the First with these words: "We
should fear and love God." What do we learn from this? In the Second
Commandment God reveals His will concerning His holy name. Mention some
of God's names. In all these names God shows us who and what He is. His
name should therefore be sacred to us. When do we take His holy name in
vain? What does it mean to curse by God's name? How should we use His
holy name?
3. Which is the _Third Commandment?_ We celebrate as our holy-day the
first day of the week, Sunday. Who instituted this holy-day? How do we
sanctify our holy-day? We should not despise preaching and His Word.
When do we despise preaching and God's Word? How should we hold God's
Word? How is this done?--To whom do the first three commandments
relate? What is their sum? To whom do the other commandments relate? How
should we love our neighbor?
4. We should love our neighbor as ourselves. Of all our fellow-men our
dear _parents_ are nearest to us. What is God's will concerning our
parents? What place does God give them by commanding us to honor them?
Whose representatives are they? We should honor our parents as God's
representatives. God has placed them over us. What should we therefore
not do with regard to our parents? When do we honor them?
