—Deuteronomy 5:1-7
by: Jasmine Lynch.
Just as God made a covenant with Israel in Horeb (v.2), He made a covenant with us when He extended salvation to us. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16, NKJV). He made an individual covenant with us. Moses declared to the Israelites, “The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive” (v.3, NKJV). The covenant is still applicable: “You shall have no other gods before Me” (v.7) is the first of the Moral Laws. Is there something standing before you and your God?
