Alex Kirk reflects on one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible. He writes, “The Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:1–17 stand as a summary and introduction to the law. To unlock their freedom and beauty, we must see that they flow from who God is. God is our system of morality. And he is not abstract. Right and wrong flow from God’s character and promote relationship with him. That’s what the Ten Commandments are about: they liberate you to live with the LORD.”

Approaching the Mountain of God: Exodus 19 and the Nature of the Pentateuch
Over the next several months, Alex Kirk will be unrolling a new series for us: The Theology of the Pentateuch. It is just a small preview of our OT 500 course, The Torah, which is a deeper exploration of the foundational Old Testament doctrines of creation, sin, faith, redemption, the character of God, law, holiness, and blessing. We hope this whets your appetite to dig into the first five books of the Bible with fresh curiosity and appreciation.
