“You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3
A great way to think about the Ten Commandments is to liken them to a marriage contract. It is God outlining the appropriate way for his bride, Israel, to live in order to stay faithfully married to Himself. This first command is therefore God saying that Israel shall have no other lovers apart from Him… He desires Israel for Himself alone.
