And Moses came and told the people all the Words of the LORD, and all the Judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the Words which the LORD hath said will we do. And Moses wrote all the Wwords of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
And he took the Book of the Covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee Tables of stone, and a Law, and Ccommandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. And the Glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day He called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. And the sight of the Glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. (Exo 24:3-4, 7, 12, 15-18)
All the Words which GOD had given, from Genesis 1:1 to this point, and all Israel told GOD and Moses that they would obey GOD and keep His Commands. Then they worshipped GOD on that mountain, just as GOD had told Moses they would when Moses encountered GOD in the burning bush. Moses once again entered into the presence of GOD on the Mount of GOD and received not only these Words written by GOD but received them in order to teach the Israelites to observe to do all that GOD commanded.
We are to study GOD's Word and rightly divide the Word of Truth in order to know GOD. We are to obey His Word and keep His Commandments. We are to guard His Word as Holy, just as GOD is, for the Scriptures speak of Him. We are to rest in Christ, to do His will and follow Him, for He is our Master and we have received forgiveness of our sIn, and reconciliation with GOD by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary.
While we grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ as His disciples, we are to have love one to another that others may know we are indeed His disciples and teach all to observe to do all that He has commanded. We are to minister to the hurting around us, as GOD gives the increase, considering one another to provoke to love and to good works. We are to go, and as we go, we are to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and His grace and mercy to those will hear and believe, that believing they might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. Though He commands obedience, He knows that apart from Him we can do nothing, so He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
