Mt Sinai: Law

If you set aside a glass of clean water, put a little waste in it and left it undisturbed for a few days, the particles would settle to the bottom of the glass so that the water would begin to look drinkable. However, we all know that it would still be dangerous to drink, even though it appeared safe. If you took a sterile spoon and stirred the water, it would become readily evident that the water was not clean. God’s law is a bit like the sterile spoon. We need it to know what we are dealing with regarding sin. Exodus 20:1-21 gives us 3 purposes of God’s law in our lives as it relates to sin.
