142 - The Ten Commandments: An Introductory Episode
from Taught by Grace Hosted by Noah Hooper
You hear the word commandment and begin to cringe a bit. Oh yeah, I like hearing about the cross and resurrection, but do we really have to talk about the Ten Commandments? They’ve been fulfilled in Jesus anyways, haven’t they? Yes, Christ has fulfilled it, but He didn’t destroy it. There is still much to learn and much to be applied to us from these. At the outset, however, I hope to remove any notion that these are just a stodgy, cold set of rules and regulations. That God is trying to take away all of the fun from our lives. The Ten Commandments do not enslave God’s people. They don’t attach a ball and chain to our feet, keeping us away from freedom. In reality, the Ten Commandments come from a gloriously, holy God who had redeemed Israel from bondage and wanted them to live as His peculiar people. If we’re going to get all we can out of studying these, we must be properly introduced to them. So, this week, I want to introduce them by showing you what we must know about God, why we should study the Ten Commandments, and how we will go about studying them.
