Believers never create, serve, or worship images of creation or of the Creator.
The second commandment forbids the making of any graven image or likeness of anything in heaven, on earth, or under the earth, and forbids the worship or service of such images. This is not merely a prohibition against pagan idols. It is a command given to God’s redeemed people.
The first commandment tells us who we must worship: God alone. The second commandment tells us how we must worship Him: only in the way He has prescribed. Any attempt to image God—whether through physical representations or according to human imagination—reduces and blasphemes the Creator. Acceptable worship is limited by God’s revealed will, not by our feelings or preferences.
