The Advent of Law | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness
Blazing fire. Darkness and gloom. Violent storm. Surely these words must describe a time of judgment in Israel’s history. But this is exactly the picture the writer of Hebrews paints when describing God giving the 10 Commandments to Moses.

Modern Christians have a complicated relationship with the law of God. Some view any adherence to God’s law as legalism that upends the Gospel of Grace. Others see it as an outdated set of rules for a time and a nation long ago.
But what if the blessings we are searching for start with a love for God’s law? What if drawing near to such a terrifying scene is the way into true freedom?
This episode:
• What perspective should we have towards God’s law?
• The tragic nature of the human condition
• The blessings that come from obedience to the law (not legalism)
