The [[The First Commandment|first]] of the [[Ten Commandments]], “You shall have no other gods before Me,” contains two commands: “Do not to serve other gods,” and “Serve only God.” The Passover is a special truth that enables us to destroy other gods and worship only God; because the Passover was established as the day to punish all other gods since the time of the Exodus.<ref name="애굽 유월절" /> If all the other gods are judged on the Passover, it means only God remains. If we realize the Passover and celebrate it, we can worship only God, not other gods. For example, God destroyed the gods of Egypt on the night of the Passover in the time of Moses. In the time of Hezekiah and of Josiah, too, the Israelites were able to serve only God by removing idols after keeping the Passover. Even in the New Testament times, we can fully keep the first commandment if we keep the Passover of the new covenant. | The [[The First Commandment|first]] of the [[The Ten Commandments|Ten Commandments]], “You shall have no other gods before Me,” contains two commands: “Do not to serve other gods,” and “Serve only God.” The Passover is a special truth that enables us to destroy other gods and worship only God; because the Passover was established as the day to punish all other gods since the time of the Exodus.<ref name="애굽 유월절" /> If all the other gods are judged on the Passover, it means only God remains.
