Exodus 20

this is the chapter that everyone has heard of, even if they don't know it. This is the one with the Ten Commandments.

Notice first the name. Not the Ten Suggestions. Not the Ten Good Ideas. They're called "commandments" because God expects  them to be obeyed.

A lot reject God because he seems unfair, based on passages where he promises to visit the sins of the father upon the children down to the fourth generation. And they're right. He isn't fair. Look  at the next verse in this chapter, He promises steadfast love to thousands.

I'm happy to serve such an unfair God.
