God created marriage between one man and one woman, and within that unique relationship, God gave the gift of sex. The Israelites failed to worship God exclusively, so God called them adulterers. But Jesus is faithful in every regard. Jesus was faithful to other humans, His Father, and His Bride!

The sixth commandment is not only a prohibition against physical offenses but also internal offenses from our hearts. However, the Lord Jesus fulfilled the command through His life and death that we might put to death murder by loving others without reservation or hesitation forever!

Honoring father and mother is a foundational command to honoring authority, and one Israel broke early and often. Jesus perfectly honors his father and through his obedience makes us righteous. This frees us to a life commitment of bringing honor to our family name, the name "Christian."

Peter urges the church to live in awe of God amidst persecution by recalling the ransom price for sin and Jesus’ purposeful resurrection. Therefore, we are to be in awe of what God has accomplished through Christ so that in all times, our faith and hope are in Him alone!

Jesus, the Lamb of God, takes away the sins of the world by conquering the curse of God so we might be set free from our sin and enjoy Him forever!

We read in Isaiah that the Servant came, not with pomp and ceremony but unassumingly, as a Servant who would suffer on behalf of God’s people, to die the death they deserve, but who will reign forever as King of the nations. The Lord Jesus is the Servant who was promised as King of Kings!

Israel was commanded to rest from their work on the seventh day and to remember God's finished work at creation. Through Christ's saving work, we have the joy of resting from our works and trusting in the work accomplished on our behalf as we await the ultimate sabbath rest in glory!

A true representation of God’s name is crucially important to Him. So, taking the name of the Lord should mean something to us. It should not be taken lightly. Therefore, respect for His name is ultimately seen in how we testify to our salvation and sanctification through our Lord Jesus Christ.

In the Second Commandment, we move from the object of worshiping the one true God to the manner in which we worship Him. To make an image of God is to take our thoughts of Him from a human source, rather than from God Himself. Therefore, we must worship Him as He has revealed Himself to us, ultimately through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!
