You Shall Not Commit Adultery (Exodus 20:14)
God's command not to commit adultery relates directly to his exhortation in Hebrews 13:4 to "let marriage be held in honor among all." We are to esteem, honor, and cultivate our marriages greatly, and to flee and fight the sins of adultery and sexual immorality. Our fighting these sins requires a practical plan of attack, but it also requires an understanding of the forgiveness and power we receive in the gospel.

You Shall Not Murder (Exodus 20:13)
In the sixth commandment, God forbids murder. This determines our response to the tragedy of abortion. But this also reminds us that anger and hatred toward one another are serious sins in God's sight. Forgiveness and life are only to be found in the one perfect one who was murdered for our sake, Jesus Christ.

The Christian and the Law (Exodus 24)
The Old Testament Law is relevant to us today. Broadly, as a whole it gives us an appreciation for God's history of redemption, and specifically, the moral law applies to us today as Christians. Most importantly, we are to understand the Old Testament Law in a framework of grace. God first loved and saved Israel, and then through the law taught them to live holy lives for his glory. Obedience of the law cannot earn God's favor; it must be motivated by love for God and gratitude for our finished salvation.
