When God tells Moses to tell his people, “You shall not steal”, we see that God is actually commanding these two things: Number 1, do not deceive; and Number 2, do not be deceived. Though stealing takes on so very many forms and faces, we see that at the core of the actions by the thief is evidence of a heart deceived.

We often think of Moses as the great deliver, the great emancipator. He, too, was the great law giver. Deliverance from fear, bondage and slavery was obviously a life-changing trajectory for the nation of Israel. But, on the other side of their freedom, a nation without laws, really isn’t a nation free. A nation without laws is a nation still in bondage, enslaved to chaos, and immersed in anarchy. As Pastor Jeffrey begins to unpack the 10 Commandments, we see that the law was necessary for God’s people if they were to ever become a truly free nation.

In part 25 of From Fear to Freedom, Pastor Jeffrey continues to unpack the requirements God demands on the part of His people and principles that align with them as we consider our own life journey.

Before God spends a significant amount of time, 40 days and nights, alone with Moses on the Mountain, God outlines specific requirements His people are to follow. What is fascinating about these requirements is just how very relevant these truths are for our lives today!
