I am the LORD Your God

In the ancient Near East, Israel had many other so-called gods around them.  Today we find ourselves in a similar situation.  However, today there is a strong spirit of universalism that wants to blend all the world religions into one.  This is not compatible with the Bible, even as we see with these first two of the Ten Commandments.

The LORD Did Not Make This Covenant With Our Fathers

Listen in as we think about the unique enactment in history of God giving the law and establishing the old covenant with Israel.  We’ll think about the relationship of the law to the old covenant, to the covenant God made with Abraham, and to the new covenant that we belong to.

Ask Now Concerning The Days Past

Today, I want us to think about how God is describing himself in terms of history. God describes himself here as the God of history. He is the God of the past, the present, and the future. Well, of course we know that’s true, just by the fact that he’s God. God is eternal, he’s the creator, and he’s in control of all things. Surely he’s in control of human history.  But this passage shows how he is especially the God of redemptive history.  That he has worked in history to save a people.  It’s in this that we find our connection with this passage, even as we see how wonderfully God has worked in Israel’s history to bring salvation to them.
