Lesson 10: God Revealed His Standards - Part 2

Yahweh gave Israel His law at Mount Sinai. The laws were His expectations of how they would live as a righteous nation. If we study the 613 laws we will better understand His character and righteousness. In particular, we will learn how God defines justice. To God, justice is about restitution, that is, to fix a situation so that whatever is damaged or stolen is restored. Through the law, we learn just how serious mankind’s rebellion against Yahweh was. We see the damage to Yahweh’s relationship with mankind and the damage to God’s creation. The seriousness of God’s sentence of eternal death for mankind’s rebellion shows us how terrible the crime was. God’s justice needs to be settled. At the same time, God’s heart is to provide a solution to this problem. And God demonstrates how His solution works through the use of a sufficient substitute who will take the penalty on behalf of guilty mankind.
