Christ's Ten Commandments to His Bride

My father, my favorite Bible scholar, taught me many things concerning the Holy Scriptures. I would love to have half the knowledge and insight that Floyd Davis had concerning the will of God.

One of the things he taught me, though I couldn't quote him on it, was to a have certain attitude concerning Bible study and to approach this Scriptures with an understanding that God, above all else, considers His inestimable gift to man as, first and foremost, a love letter to His Bride. So, when reading the Book, I try to keep my eyes open for Her, the One Who gave His life to save Her and the love they two truly share with each another.

Thus, while rereading the Ten Commandments, I got to wondering exactly what it was the Father was trying to say and to whom He was trying to say it. Ergo, here are the commandments, set of vows, if you will, that I suspect He mandated would consummate the bond between the Bridegroom and the Bride.

(Exodus 20)

1. I am your first love; love Me and Me alone.

2. All other loves are false, so do not create anything to love other than Me.

3. You bear My name; do not misuse or abuse it.

4. Spend time with Me.

5. Remember those who brought you to Me.

6. You were meant to give life, not take it

7. Do not give yourself to other lovers.

8. I have given you all that you need, so do not take what I have given others.

9. Do not misrepresent others or Me.

10. I gave you my best, do not yearn for whatever others may seem to have.
