Ten Commandments
This series of lectures on the law of the LORD GOD, is an introduction to the beauty of holiness. Holiness is more than God’s sinlessness. His holiness is the pure beauty of his loving being. The essence of God’s law is revealed to us in his holy law. As we will see in our studies, the Lord Jesus summed up the entire law with “love.” This gateway into the understanding of God’s law may enable us to see why that the law of God is “holy, and the commandment holy, and just and good” (Romans 7:12). We experience the law of God with unease, because in our fallen condition it confronts us with our sinfulness and guilt. Paul wrote, in Romans 3:29, that “by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Yet, the law didn’t originally have such a stinging effect on Adam and Eve in Paradise. They experienced God’s law as their delight, as it was written in their hearts and as they understood it as the brilliant reflection of their Maker’s glory. Their joy was unbounded as they walked in the obedience to God’s law, reflecting God’s nature in love to him, to each other, and to his creation. These lectures are an attempt to recapture this original intention of God’s law by expounding each of the Ten Commandments through the eyes of the Lawgiver and his reflection of devotional love. May God bless these lectures to open our minds and hearts by his blessed and indispensable Spirit, for the glories of his Law, and even more, the glory of the Lawgiver.
The God of the Law
From our earliest childhood days, we resist someone else’s will when it counters ours. This internal attitude doesn’t change by getting older, for we don’t like to be subject to the laws of God and men, and neither can be. Do you still feel this way? Do you still look at the law as the lists of things you are forbidden or commanded, hindering your freedom to soar or explore?
