40. Read Exodus 20:5. Why does God make these threats and promises?
God will not tolerate any other gods, for no other "god" can give and sustain our life.
The Large Catechism reminds us how God seeks to draw us to Himself: "I, yes, I, will give you enough and help you out of every need. Only do not let your heart cleave to or rest on any other" (LC I 4).
Eventual commentary - focus on Exodus 20:5
