Christianity is the believe of a superhuman controlling power for whom we owe our well being, our livelihood and whose favor, grace, blessings may be a source of happiness and eternal glory because it is through his divine will that a begotten son died to purchase eternal life to his own people, kingly people, priestly people, holy people. A king, a queen of one kin, a blood relative, a descendant of the house of David, the story is from the book of Genesis where our father in faith Abram Isaac and Jacob have arrived the final stage with Jesus a mere carpenter’s son. As a people of God we must be borne by water and the spirit, for the Lamb of God is slain, so we can now proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ in the languages of the worlds peoples, because we have common ground, similar faith, the one and only true God and his son in unity with the Holy Spirit now and forever.
The rites of the church are the steps we grow up with in the house of god which should fortify us and build us up for the task of generalization and apostolic works. When we as Christians want to receive any one rite of the church as we grow up there is sound doctrine regarding Christ teachings, so we can all walk in the light of God. The commandments are in the bible for us to refer to as a source of guidance as to what morality and goodness is that is why there is a summary of what love is in the two greatest commandments. The rites and commandments are good to uphold, a yardstick for measurement of uprightness and wrongdoing, learn to love the lord god with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength; love your neighbor as yourself.

The Ten Commandments where given to Moses for the people of God to have his favor and blessings. The 4th command says honor your parents so you can live in peace in the land God favored you with. Obeying makes us have God’s favor and this goes on to your 3rd and 4th generations descendants. Not obeying God’s laws makes you be under judgment and punishment for 3–4 generations. The 9th and 10th commandments makes us realize this possessive aspects of our lives commanded by God; he wants us to be wealthy having ownership of our belongings ownership of house, slaves, flock. A man’s wife, property, land must not be tampered with says, God.
