Scott Allen leads today's study of lessons 7 & 8 of our Lifeway study of Exodus & Leviticus (combined due to inclement weather). In Exodus 20:1-17, we find 10 commandments God gave to the Israelites. If God knew we would not be able to keep them all, why did He give these commands to us? Was God trying to take away all our fun, or are God's moral precepts central to a flourishing human society? And with so many rules, how can we truly align ourselves to God's purposes? We soon realize that God's commands have much in common, and although specific rules such as those in Exodus 22:21-27 and Leviticus 19:9-10 are important, when we live out God's principles we will naturally gravitate to living out God's design for humanity.
