Today, in our Route 66 Bible reading plan, we are in the passage of Scripture where God gives Moses the 10 Commandments.
The third commandment is this: Exodus 20:7 says, “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.”
Unfortunately in the church today, this commandment has been dumbed down. The worst sin in the Bible is committing evil in God’s name. This is the only one of the Ten Commandments that states that God will not forgive a person who violates the commandment. The Hebrew original does not say “Do not take.” The Hebrew literally reads, “Do not carry the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” What does it mean to carry, or to misuse God’s name? It means committing evil in God’s name and that God will not forgive. Why not? Because when a “religious” person commits evil in God’s name, it brings God and religion into disrepute. That’s why the greatest sin is religious evil.
Today, we’ll look at how we fully honor this third commandment and the implications of God’s most holy name.
