294.这条诫命的属灵之义是：除了主耶稣基督外，不可拜别的神，因为祂就是耶和华，祂降世实行救赎，若非如此，没有一个世人和天人能得救。除祂以外再无别神，这一点从以下圣言经文明显可知：
到那日，人必说：“看哪，这是我们的神；我们素来等候祂，祂必拯救我们。这是耶和华，我们素来等候祂，我们必因祂的救恩欢喜快乐” 。（以赛亚书25:9）
有人声喊着说：“在旷野预备耶和华的路，在沙漠地修平我们神的道。耶和华的荣耀必然显现；凡有血气的必一同看见”。（以赛亚书40:3，5）
耶和华如此说：“神真在你们中间，此外再没有别的神。”救主以色列的神啊，祢实在是自隐的神。（以赛亚书45:14，15）
不是我耶和华吗？除了我以外，再没有神；我是公义的神，又是救主；除了我以外，再没有别的神。（以赛亚书45:21，22）
惟有我是耶和华；除我以外没有救主。（以赛亚书43:11；何西阿书13:4）
凡有血气的必都知道我耶和华是你的救主，是你的救赎主。（以赛亚书49:26，60:16）
我们救赎主的名是万军之耶和华以色列的圣者。（以赛亚书47:4；耶利米书50:34）
耶和华我的盘石，我的救赎主啊。（诗篇19:14）
耶和华你的救赎主，以色列的圣者如此说：“我是耶和华你的神”。（以赛亚书48:17；43:14；49:7；54:8）
从你出胎，造就你的救赎主耶和华如此说：“我耶和华是创造万物的，是独自铺张诸天、铺开大地的。谁与我同在呢？”（以赛亚书44:24）
耶和华以色列的君，以色列的救赎主万军之耶和华如此说：“我是首先的，我是末后的；除我以外再没有真神”。（以赛亚书44:6）
万军之耶和华是祂的名。救赎你的是以色列的圣者；祂必称为全地之神。（以赛亚书54:5）
亚伯拉罕虽然不认识我们，以色列也不承认我们，祢却是我们的父。耶和华啊，祢是我们的父；从万古以来，祢名称为“我们的救赎主”。（以赛亚书63:16）
因有一婴孩为我们而生；有一子赐给我们。政权必担在祂的肩头上；祂名称为“奇妙策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君”。（以赛亚书9:6）
耶和华说：“日子将到，我要给大卫兴起一个公义的苗裔；祂必掌王权，行事有智慧，在地上施行公平和公义。在祂的日子，犹大必得救，以色列也安然居住。祂的名必称为‘耶和华我们的义’”。（耶利米书23:5－6；33:15－16）
腓力对他说：“求主将父显给我们看。”耶稣对他说：“人看见了我，就是看见了父。我在父里面，父在我里面，你不信吗？”（约翰福音14:8，9，10）
因为神本性一切的丰盛都有形有体的居住在基督里面。（歌罗西书2:9）
我们也在那位真实的里面，就是在祂儿子耶稣基督里面。这是真神，也是永生。小子们哪，你们要自守，远避偶像。（约翰一书5:20，21）
从上述经文清楚可知，主，我们的救主，就是耶和华自己，集创造者、救赎主、再造者于一身。这就是该诫命的属灵之义。
294. 這條誡命的屬靈意義是:除了主耶穌基督, 我們不可以敬拜其他任何上帝, 因為祂就是耶和華, 祂降臨人間實行拯救。若不是祂曾如此, 沒有一個人或沒有一個天人能被拯救。
可從聖言下列經文明顯看出, 除祂以外再無別的上帝:到那日, 人必說:"看哪, 這是我們的上帝; 我們素來等候祂, 祂必拯救我們。這是耶和華, 我們素來等候祂, 我們必因祂的救恩歡喜快樂"(以賽亞書25:9)。有人聲喊著說:"在曠野預備耶和華的路, 在沙漠地修平我們上帝的道。耶和華的榮耀必然顯現; 凡有血氣的必一同看見"(以賽亞書40:3, 5)。耶和華如此說:"上帝真在你們中間, 此外再沒有別的上帝。"救主以色列的上帝啊, 禰實在是自隱的上帝(以賽亞書45:14-15)。不是我耶和華嗎？除了我以外, 再沒有上帝; 我是公義的上帝, 又是救主; 除了我以外, 再沒有別的上帝(以賽亞書45:21-22)。 惟有我是耶和華; 除我以外沒有救主(以賽亞書43:11;何西阿書13:4)。 凡有血氣的必都知道我耶和華是你的救主, 是你的救贖主(以賽亞書49:26, 60:16)。我們救贖主的名是萬軍之耶和華以色列的聖者(以賽亞書47:4;耶利米書50:34)。耶和華我的磐石, 我的救贖主啊(詩篇19:14)。耶和華你的救贖主, 以色列的聖者如此說:"我是耶和華你的上帝"(以賽亞書48:17; 43:14; 49:7; 54:8)。從你出胎, 造就你的救贖主耶和華如此說:"我耶和華是創造萬物的, 是獨自鋪張諸天,鋪開大地的。誰與我同在呢"(以賽亞書44:24)？耶和華以色列的君, 以色列的救贖主萬軍之耶和華如此說:"我是首先的, 我是末後的; 除我以外再沒有真上帝"(以賽亞書44:6)。萬軍之耶和華是祂的名。救贖你的是以色列的聖者; 祂必稱為全地之上帝(以賽亞書54:5)。亞伯拉罕雖然不認識我們, 以色列也不承認我們, 禰卻是我們的父。耶和華啊, 禰是我們的父; 從萬古以來, 禰名稱為"我們的救贖主"(以賽亞書63:16)。因有一嬰孩為我們而生; 有一子賜給我們。政權必擔在祂的肩頭上; 祂名稱為"奇妙策士,全能的上帝,永在的父,和平的君"(以賽亞書9:6) 。耶和華說:"日子將到, 我要給大衛興起一個公義的苗裔; 祂必掌王權, 行事有智慧, 在地上施行公平和公義。在祂的日子, 猶大必得救, 以色列也安然居住。祂的名必稱為'耶和華我們的義'"
(耶利米3:5-6; 33:15-16)。腓力對他說:"求主將父顯給我們看。"耶穌對他說:"人看見了我, 就是看見了父。我在父裡面, 父在我裡面, 你不信嗎"(約翰福音14:8-10) ？因為上帝本性一切的豐盛都有形有體的居住在基督裡面(歌羅西書2:9)。我們也在那位真實的裡面, 就是在祂兒子耶穌基督裡面。這是真上帝, 也是永生。小子們哪, 你們要自守, 遠避偶像(約翰一書5:20-21)。
以上這些經文很清晰地告訴我們:主, 我們的拯救者, 就是耶和華自己, 集創造者,救贖者,更新者於一身。這就是該誡命的屬靈含義。

All the fullness of divinity dwells physically in Jesus Christ. (Colossians 2:9)

294. SENSUS SPIRITUALIS hujus Praecepti 1 est, quod non alius Deus quam DOMINUS JESUS CHRISTUS colendus sit, quia Ipse est Jehovah, qui in Mundum venit, et Redemptionem fecit, sine qua non salvari potuit ullus homo, nec ullus Angelus. Quod praeter Ipsum non alius Deus sit, constat ex his in Verbo, "Dicetur in die illo, ecce Deus noster Hic, quem exspectavimus ut liberet nos: hic Jehovah, quem exspectavimus, exultemus et laetemur in Salute Ipsius, Esaias 25:9. Vox clamantis in deserto, parate viam Jehovae, complanate in solitudine semitam Deo nostro; revelabitur enim Gloria Jehovae, et videbunt omnis caro simul; ecce Dominus Jehovih in forti venit, sicut Pastor gregem suum pascet, Esaias 40:3, 5, 10-11. 2 Tantummodo inter te Deus, praeterea non Deus, profecto Tu Deus occultus, 3 Deus Israelis SALVATOR, Esaias 45:14-15.
