The Ten Commandments are God’s first formalized moral code of conduct for His people. We now come the the 3rd commandment. This commandment is all about our use and representation of God’s name. At the core of this commandment is a value that we ought to embrace –– a value that should become very dear to us, a value that should govern the way we think and act. The underlying value of the 3rd commandment is a call for us to “Reverence God’s Name.”
