Third Commandment: Exodus 20:7

Commandment Number 3: Taking God’s Name in Vain

Exodus 20:7

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Take: Bring, Lift Up, Carry, Raise

Vain: Empty; worthless; having no substance, value or importance

It’s important to note that this commandment was not given to the heathen but to God’s children.

As christians it hurts our spirit when we hear the name of Jesus used as a curse word. I wonder where that came from the Devil no doubt.

When we think of the Name of God we think about Love, Salvation, God and the Glory and Honor he deserves. But the world has decided to use his name as a slang for anger, disgust and contempt. That is the devils doing.
