God's Character Revealed In His Law

The Ten Commandments are more than a list of rules—they reveal the character of the God who gave them. In this sermon from Exodus 20: 1–17, Pastor Don Elbourne explains how each commandment teaches us something about God. He is the God who speaks and redeems, the only true God, worthy of worship and honor. He is sovereign, holy, just, merciful, faithful, truthful, and the giver and provider of life. The sermon also explores: • The civil, ceremonial, and moral laws of the Old Testament • The three uses of God’s law • How the law exposes our sin and points us to Christ • How the law guides believers in sanctification • The danger of both legalism and lawlessness • Why we must distinguish between law and grace without separating them We have all broken God’s law and cannot earn our way back to Him. But Jesus Christ perfectly obeyed the law and bore the penalty for sinners upon the cross. The law shows us our need; the gospel shows us our Savior.
