The article gives detailed explanations 10 commandments of God's and 7 mortal sins of Christians.

The first commandment of God is to believe in the one Lord of God: interpretation, a brief explanation for adults and children

• The significance of the first commandment is that God is one, and all living things exist by His will and, by his will, returns to Him. The strength and power that are in the Lord do not exist in any of the earthly and heavenly creations. The power of God manifests itself in the sunlight, in sea and river water, in the air, in frozen stone.
• Whether the rain worm crawls on the ground, whether the bird flies, whether the fish is cutting off the depths - all this happens according to the will of the Lord. The germination of seed, rustle of grass, human breathing - a manifestation of unearthly abilities obtained by everything that lives, grows, exists thanks to God.
• The first commandment, which God points to Himself, is one of the main ones for the believer, calling for love to love the only and true God with all his heart, with all his soul and all his thoughts. A person must be afraid and love the Lord at the same time, and at the same time not stop trusting Him, regardless of life circumstances.

• Only the Lord knows what we need and what fate is intended for us. The ability to do something is gained only by the will of the Lord, because he is a source of life-giving and powerful power that does not exist in a different form. Wisdom and knowledge come from the Lord, and each creature is endowed with a particle of the wisdom of God: an ant, a mucus, and a tit and an eagle, wood and stone, water and air also have their own wisdom.
• God's wisdom encourages the bee to build honeycombs, the bird is sculpting the nest and nursing the chicks, the tree grows, directing its branches to the sun, and the stone is silent and retains its shape. No one gives rise to their own wisdom, since it is supplied by a single source of all kinds of wisdom-God. Life -making and great wisdom gives everything the Lord.

How to pray to the Lord? Here is the text of the prayer:

“God is gracious, inexhaustible, the only source of power, strengthen me, weak, give me more power so that I can better serve you. God, give me wisdom, so that I do not use the power received from you for evil, but only for the good of myself and my neighbors for the greatness of your glory. Amen".

Explanation of the first commandment for children:

• The commandments of God are laws given by the Lord to all people. People need commandments in order to act correctly, not to confuse good and evil.
• Belief with all your soul in a single Lord is as natural as you believe your parents, trust them, consult with them and reveal your heart before them. God not just created the world, He shows care for everyone who lives on earth. Love for the Lord and veneration is manifested in appeal to Him in prayer:

“Let only the Lord reigns in your heart,
And just open the door to him!
May God be the meaning of your life!
Let him control and rule in it! ”

The second commandment of God - do not create an idol for yourself: interpretation, a brief explanation for adults and children

• Do not make yourself an idol and no image of what is in the sky above, and what is on the ground below, and that in the water is below the earth.
• There is not a single creation that can become for a believer with the same force that the Lord is. Having ascended a high mountain to meet with the Lord, you do not need to look at the reflection in the river flowing nearby. Having presented to the ruler, you do not need to look at his servants, hoping to hear advice from them or get help.
• Do we turn to intermediaries in business where only the closest can help? Will the father remain indifferent to the experiences and difficulties of children? It is easier with servants who has a sin behind the soul. And the sinless does not turn off the eyes of his father, but boldly looks at the one who is more merciful than the servants.
• The Lord incinerates sins in each of us, like the sun's rays, detectively on the harmful microbes that appear in water. The water is cleared of this, becomes suitable for drinking.
• Therefore, the second commandment is a ban on idolatry and the creation of idols, idols for veneration. The second commandment the Lord prohibits the veneration of similarities or images of what we observe in the sky (sun, moon, stars), and that lives on the earth's surface (plants, animals, people) or to be in sea depths (fish).
• However, this does not mean that the Lord forbids to worship the holy icons and relics, because this is only an image, the image of the Lord, Angels or saints.
  The holy images are given to us as the memory of the deeds of God and His saints, for the Ascension of our thoughts to God and His saints.

Explanation of the second commandment to children:

• It is very difficult for a child to understand what an idol is or why people create idols. It is necessary to find a comparison that is closest and understandable for the child.
• The idol is what a person mistakenly takes for the most important and important in life. Worshiping idols or idols, a person can even forget about the Lord. But will the child change his mother to a doll or dad for a new bike? Recall the tale of Kae and Gerda. The boy believed that the Snow Queen was his idol, forgetting about simple things - kindness, love. But this did not bring him happiness and an ice castle with ideal regular cold pears became a cage for him, in which his soul died.
• And only Gerda's love helped his heart melt and the boy remembered God. So any Christian must first love and remember the Lord, and only then - about close people.

“Let your Lord be the only god
Even though there are always a lot of different idols in life,
Serving only with all your soul!
Hope for God, not people! ”
