五十八、十诫的序言

101问：十诫的序言是什么？

答：十诫的序言就是:“我是耶和华你的上帝，曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来” （出20:2）。上帝从中显明了祂的主权，祂是耶和华，是永恒、不变、全能的上帝（赛44:6）；祂是自有永有的（出3:14），祂的话语（出6:3）和作为（徒17:24，28）都由祂而出:

  1. 祂是立约的上帝，与过去的以色列人立约，也与祂所有的子民立约（创17:7，比较罗3:29）；
  2. 正如祂带领以色列人摆脱了埃及地的捆绑，同样也把我们从属灵的奴役下释放出来（路1:74－75）；
  3. 因此，我们视祂为我们独一的上帝，遵行祂一切的诫命，是义不容辞的（彼前1:15－18；利18:30，19:37）。

Q. 101. What is the preface to the Ten Commandments?

A. The preface to the Ten Commandments is contained in these words, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Wherein God manifesteth his sovereignty, as being JEHOVAH, the eternal, immutable, and almighty God; having his being in and of himself, and giving being to all his words and works: and that he is a God in covenant, as with Israel of old, so with all his people; who, as he brought them out of their bondage in Egypt, so he delivereth us from our spiritual thraldom; and that therefore we are bound to take him for our God alone, and to keep all his commandments.
