GOD 'S JEALOUS LOVE

EXODUS 34:1-14

 

Key Concept:

God is compassionate and gracious, and He is also a jealous God.

With many miracles, Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. At Mount Sinai, they received God's laws. As Moses returned to the mountaintop to receive additional instructions, the people created a calf to worship, violating the first and second commandments. Moses shattered the tablets to show that the people had broken their covenant with God. Moses then returned to Mount Sinai and pleaded with God for mercy. In response, God showed mercy by equipping Moses to lead and renewing His covenant with the people.

As you examine Exodus 34:1-14:

✞   Identify God's characteristics, such as the Lord is compassionate and gracious, yet just.

     

✞   Reflect upon the fact that we are to destroy idols in our lives, keeping God first in everything.

GOD 'S GOOD LAW

EXODUS 20:2-17

 

Key Concept:

God's law reveals His good and holy expectations for His image-bearers.

God delivered the Israelites from cruel slavery in Egypt by His mighty hand. Then the Lord led them to Mount Sinai despite their doubts. God demonstrated His concern for human welfare, righteousness, and flourishing of His image-bearers by His giving of the Ten Commandments to His people. By giving the law on Mount Sinai, God showed His love by instructing His people how to live moral and devoted lives that bring blessing.

As you examine Exodus 20:2-17:

✞   Consider that God deserves exclusive worship for His glory but also for our benefit and

    good.

     

✞   Identify ways the Ten Commandments direct believers toward living with holiness in 

    their interactions with one another.
