The Commandments
The Commandments
God threatens to punish all who transgress these commandments. Therefore should fear his anger and not disobey what he commands. But he promises grace and every blessing to all who keep these commandments. Therefore we should love and trust in him, and gladly obey what he commands.
Dear Grandpa,
You know me. You know how I really try to be a good student, a good daughter, and a good person. But so many others don’t care about the right thing. There’s a guy in my grade who gets A’s on pretty much everything—only because he cheats. A girl in my English class always wears new, expensive clothes, but she shoplifts them. These kids never get caught. It’s so unfair. What’s the use of trying to be good if cheaters and thieves end up better off? Please help me understand.
I love you,
Denali
