The theme for this study is "The Covenant of Law." In these chapters, God establishes His covenant with the Israelites at Mount Sinai, giving the Ten Commandments as the foundation of His moral law. The Israelites are called to be a holy nation, set apart for God. God’s presence is revealed in thunder, lightning, smoke, and fire, demonstrating His holiness. The Ten Commandments remind us of God’s standards and show us how far short we fall, pointing us to our need for salvation through Jesus Christ. While we cannot perfectly keep the law, it remains a guide for godly living, and our obedience reflects our gratitude for God’s grace.
