The ‘Law’ Is ‘Holy’ And ‘Good’, But It Cannot Make Us Holy And Good - Without ‘The New Life Of The Spirit.’
Exodus 20:1-20
God does not want to see sin in us (20).
He wants to see Himself in us.
Sin robs us of His great blessing.
He wants to fill us with love (Mark 12:28-31; Galatians 5:14; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13).
Before our love for Him, there is His love for us.
He is the God of redemption.
He has redeemed us.
We are His people.
This is His doing.
All the glory belongs to Him (1-2).
We are to live as His people.
He is to have first place in our lives (3).
The ‘law’ is ‘holy’ and ‘good’, but it cannot make us holy and good - without ‘the new life of the Spirit’(Romans 7:12,6: 8:2; 2 Corinthians 3:3).
‘Moses’ cannot save!
There is only one Saviour - Jesus!
Not under law, we yield ourselves to the God of salvation (Romans 6:13-14).
Our obedience comes from faith in Christ - not legalism (Romans 1:5-6)!
Our holiness comes from the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
Exodus 20:21-21:32
So many instructions - Don’t get bogged down in details.
Remember this: We do not live by an ethic of legalism.
This is an ethic of redemption(20:1-2).
Forget the God of redemption, and you have nothing but a lot of rules and regulations.
Become obsessed with rules and regulations, and there will be no room for the Redeemer and His redemption.
‘Earmarked’ for Jesus, we are to ‘serve Him for life’(6).
No turning back!
We are bound to Him by love - not law!
What love He has for us!
Verse 30 speaks of ‘ransom’ and ‘redemption’: What great words of the Gospel (Mark 10:45; 1 Peter 1:18-19)!
‘Eye for eye...’(24) - This limits vengeance.
Remember: Love is the answer - not vengeance (Leviticus 19:18)!
Let Christ’s love give you strength - to keep on serving Him (Galatians 2:20; Philippians 1:6).
Exodus 21:33-22:31
We travel from grace to glory - from ‘Egypt’ to ‘the promised land’.
In the wilderness there are many pitfalls.
We can become careless in our obedience to Christ.
Do not ‘leave a pit open’- you may cause a brother to stumble (33; Romans 14:13).
Restitution (1-17) - Be faithful in practical matters (Luke 19:8; 3:10-14).
Read of ‘the thief’(8).
Think of the Lord - and be ready for His return (1 Thessalonians 5:2; Matthew 6:19-21).
All our human problems are to be brought ‘before God’.
Never forget Him (8-9,11).
God is 'compassionate' (27).
We are to be 'consecrated' (31).
God loves us.
Will we continue to live as those who have never known His love? - ‘God forbid!
How can we who died to sin still live in it?’(Romans
6:2).
