About this episode
This episode explores the Ten Commandments as a covenant commitment rather than a legalistic ladder to earn God's love.
Some of us view the Ten Commandments like a "ladder" that we have to climb to reach God. Yet as we labor to climb it, we either collapse in guilt or puff up in legalism. We need to realize that the Law isn't a ladder to earn God’s love. It was given as a way of life for a redeemed people. If we misunderstand the purpose of the law, we will misunderstand God’s character and our need for Christ. So, let's look at the The Commandments, not as a cold legal contract, but as a covenant commitment between a Rescuer and His redeemed. In Exodus 20, God declared the Ten Commandments to the Israelites at Mount Sinai to establish a holy covenant of laws for His people whom He had already graciously redeemed.
