In this episode we are looking at what scholars call the pinnacle of the Old Testament. The Sinai Covenant (Mosaic Covenant). This event is the moment when everything in regards to Old Testament Covenant is clarified and consecrated. The whole purpose of this specific covenant is "the establishment of a special nation through whom Yahweh can make himself known to all the families of the earth."

Set apart equals consecrated, and we're going to chat about what it means for us to live consecrated. Because when we grasp the importance of consecration for us as new covenant believers, it helps solidify the importance of why this matters so much for God's image bearers.
