  3. The Promise of the Mosaic Covenant: God’s Grace “Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of the law. For it is no empty word for you, but YOUR VERY LIFE, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.” Deut 32:46-47 “You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.” Deut 5:33

  4. Jesus & the Ten Commandments “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 5:17

  5. “You have heard it said…” “You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.” “But I say to you…” “…everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment...” Matthew 5:21&22

  6. “You have heard it said…” “You shall not commit adultery.”” “But I say to you…” “that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

  7. The Mosaic Covenant: Revelation “What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10 The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.” Romans 7:7-12

  8. The Hope in the Ten Commandments “For when we have learned that [the promises of life] will be fruitless and ineffectual for us unless God, out of his free goodness, shall receive us without looking at our works, and we in faith embrace the same goodness held forth to us by the gospel, the promises do not lack effectiveness when with the condition attached. - John Calvin Institutes 2.7.4

  9. The Gospel in the Ten Commandments “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” If we look only at the commandments as a means of salvation we will desperately fail for we cannot fulfill the righteous demands of the law. We must first look at the completed work of God (vs. 2) before we are able to walk in His holiness (vs. 3-17).

  10. A Better Covenant “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:31-33

  11. The Lens of Christ “Every Old Testament commandment must today be filtered through a grid of fulfillment in Christ to see how its application may have changed.” - Craig Blomberg

  12. The New Covenant: Christ Cultural Expression: “When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.” Deut 22:8 Commandment: “You shall not murder.” Exodus 20:13

  13. The New Covenant: Christ Cultural Expression: “You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard. 28 You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the LORD.” Deut 14:21 Commandment: “You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3

  14. Is the Gospel in the Ten Commandments? “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God* may be complete, equipped for every good work.” -2 Timothy 3:16-17
