God commands exclusive worship, rejecting all other gods and idols that diminish His glory. The first commandment establishes God as our only Lord in a spiritually contested world. The second prohibits man-made representations that distort His nature. Both commands carry generational consequences but promise eternal blessing for those who love God faithfully and lead their families in truth.
