The Truth About “Sacred” Names
The third of God’s Ten Commandments reads, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain” (Exodus 20:7). It is as vital to keep the Third Commandment as it is to keep the rest of the ten; the Apostle James reminds us that if we break one point of the law, we have broken the entire law (James 2:10).
