Freedom from slavery

What do the Ten Commandments teach us about God?

Short video here, and/or read on.

The Ten Commandments are like God’s calling card. In them He let’s us know who He is and what’s important to Him. And He starts with these words, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.” (Exodus 20:2 NIV)

The first thing we learn about God from the Ten Commandments is this: He wants us to be free. What a contrast from how God is normally portrayed—as the God of rules, the One who wants to shackle us with unreasonable requirements!

No.

God wants us free to achieve our God-given potential, to live free from sin, addiction, life-controlling issues. He wants us free from our own self-destructive tendencies. And He is willing to go to bat for us so that we can be free.

I like that. How about you?

PS. Starting Saturday 4/27/2019, in Inner Wealth, we’ll be looking at Transformational Prayer Ministry or TPM. We’ll look at what TPM is, how it helps, who it helps, where it comes from, and what you need to know if you want to receive—or provide—TPM ministry.
