Description: Do Not Make an Idol for Yourself Scripture Poster

Bible Text: Exodus 20:4a

Bible Lesson: The second commandment deals with how we represent Him in our worship and to other people. In this commandment, God prohibits any attempt to represent Him with any kind of physical object such as an animal, plant, or heavenly body. Yahweh (the God of the Bible) is infinite and cannot be adequately represented with any physical object. Any attempt to do so will inevitably reduce His majesty and recreate Him in our own limited imagination. This printable Do Not Make an Idol for Yourself Scripture poster will help children learn that we must allow the Bible (God’s self-revelation) to inform our understanding of Him, not a physical object.
