True or false F T T F T/F • Rich people cannot go to heaven. • The First Commandment is the most important one, because all of the other commandments relate back to it. • Using God’s name to call down condemnation upon someone or something is sinful. • God wants us to use Sunday as the New Testament day of rest so that we have downtime for our bodies. • It’s important to obey the Third Commandment by going to church, even if we don’t want to be there. Lesson 12 Love the Lord Your God

  6. True or false F T F F F • It’s not idolatry to love money and things, as long as we recognize that God gave them. • Idolatry is often reflected in the way we set our priorities, make time commitments, and spend money. • It’s okay to dabble with horoscopes, fortune tellers, palm readers, tarot cards, and Ouija boards, as long as it’s just for fun and we don’t take them seriously. • The most important thing God’s law can do is to show us how to live in a way that pleases God. • The simplest summary of God’s law is wrapped up in the word obedience.
