Question 48

What are we specially taught by these words before me in the first commandment?

Scripture

  1. 1 Chronicles 28:9 [1]
    David’s Charge to Solomon “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. (ESV)
  2. Psalm 44:20–21 [1]
    If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. (ESV)
