—Deuteronomy 5:6-21
by: Gabrielle Watt.
We see Israel receiving the 10 commandments here for the second time. This was the Law given to the nation of Israel by God, after He freed them from the bondage of slavery under Egypt. In the beginning of this passage, God reminded Israel that He is the one who brought them out of Egypt, which was a statement of His power, love, and authority. This set of laws was given to God’s people in order to maintain peace and order. However, at some time or another, we all struggle with obeying. Which of these laws could you do a better job of following?
