The third commandment of the ten commandments tells us not to take the Lord’s name in vain. It doesn’t say not to take his name at all. As Christians we take on the name of the Lord, but are we taking it on properly and in a way that honors him?
Reflection Questions:
- Read Exodus 20:7. What stands out most to you from this verse?
- In what ways have you taken the Lord’s name in vain?
- What obstacles prevent us from orienting our lives primarily around God?
- What steps do you need to take to honor the Lord more in your life?
