Exodus 20:1,2 And
God spoke all these words: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of
Egypt, out of the land of slavery.”
The Israelites had
been an oppressed people. They had lived four hundred years under the heavy
hand of the Egyptians and within this foreign culture. They had no written law
to teach them how to live for the one true God: no law to secure them as one
culture under one God.
God brought them
out into a place of freedom from slavery. But when restraints of law or rule
are suddenly taken away, people tend to do what ever they please. And what the
Israelites did in their freedom from Egyptian domination did not please God at
all (remember the worship of the golden calf?)
In their own way,
the people were crying out for rules to keep them safe and give them a guide
for life. “Please show us how to live!” It is just like little children who
misbehave to determine what the rules are and then thrive within well-defined
and well-administered boundaries.
And so God
provided well-defined boundaries as a guide for the Israelites to be able to
live their best life in the land of freedom.
The Ten Commandments
are not like many people believe, a bunch of rules set by a hard God to take
away our fun and trap us into sinning so that he can fulfill some need of his
to beat us up and throw us into hell. No, rather, the Ten Commandments are set
by a loving God who wants the very best for us.
They are the way to live so that we continue to experience the freedom that Christ has given us,
contentment of life and to not become enslaved to anything again. They are
Kingdom of God principles that are as true for us today as they were when God
gave them to the 
Israelites.
Join a connect group today to discover God’s Commandments
are truly the way to your best life.
Love and blessings,
Ps Don & Ps Adrienne
