Exodus 20:1-7 NLT
Impact of Idol Worship

Any violation of the law, regardless of its nature or severity, will inevitably lead to consequences, which may include legal penalties, fines, imprisonment, or other forms of punishment. Therefore, it is essential to respect and abide by the laws of a society to maintain order, fairness, and justice. The major problem with worship turning into idol worship is that it goes against God's first and second commandments to Moses in the Old Testament. The first commandment states: "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3), and the second commandment says: "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them" (Exodus 20:4-5).
