The foundation of the Christian ethic. A. Two sections, two directions. He is to be revered. Our true value lies in the fact that we are God's creation. Without God, society looks at people as things and not persons.
People are to be respected.
Without a human emphasis, religion becomes remote. B. Principles, not regulations. The Ten Commandments don't attempt to give a series of rules for every situation. Circumstances and applications may change, but the basic principle of reverence and respect remains. Ten Commandments and Christians.
