The First Commandment:

I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, YOU SHALL NOT HAVE OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.

What is implied in the affirmation of God: ‘I am the Lord your God’ (Exodus 20:2)

This means that the faithful must guard and activate the three theological virtues and must avoid sins which are opposed to them. Faith believes in God and rejects everything that is opposed to it, such as, deliberate doubt, unbelief, heresy, apostasy and schism. Hope trustingly awaits the blessed vision of God and his help, while avoiding despair and presumption. Charity loves God above all things and therefore repudiates indifference, ingratitude, lukewarmness, sloth or spiritual indolence and that hatred of God which is born of pride.
