Deuteronomy 5:15-16 –
Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a
mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the
Sabbath day. “Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you
may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Deuteronomy
4:10 – Remember the day you stood
before the Lord your
God at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before
me to hear my words so that they may learn to
revere me as long as they live in the land and
may teach them to their children.”
Ezekiel
22:7 – In you they have treated
father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the
foreigner and mistreated the fatherless and the widow.
Mark
10:19 – You know the commandments:
‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you
shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and
mother.’”
Proverbs
3:2 – My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your
life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
Exodus
20:12 – “Honor your father and your
mother, so that you may live long in
the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Application:
- · The divine call to Israel to remember the Lord’s past redemptive acts—especially how He delivered them from slavery in Egypt—is a common theme in Deuteronomy and is summarized: “Remember the days of old”.
- · Treating father and mother with contempt is the opposite of what God commands.
- · Jesus mentions all six commandments that prohibit wrong actions and attitudes against others.
- · Fear of the Lord brings health to the body and “adds length to life. When Solomon prayed for wisdom, God promised him riches as well as long life if he obeyed God’s commands.
- · Honoring those in authority is essential for social stability.
