Commandments for Kids 1 There is only one God. He made our world and created each one of us. 2 God must be first in your life. He is more important than your toys, computer, friends, or anything else you can think of. 3 Do not dishonor God's name by using angry or inappropriate words. You should only use God's name when you are talking to Him or talking about Him. 4 Always remember that Sunday is a special day and it should be spent with God and your family. 5 Always love and honor your parents by obeying them, helping them without being asked and spending time with them. 6 Always respect your life and the lives of others. God gave us life and it is a great gift. 7 Marriage is a "forever promise" between a husband and wife. Married people should respect their sacred union and stay faithful to each other. 8 Do not steal, cheat or take things that do not belong to you. It is harmful and God wants us to respect the rights of others. 9 Always tell the truth. Lying and saying bad things about others hurts everyone and makes God sad. 10 Always be grateful for the life, family, home and faith you have. Remember to thank God every day.
