Today we're picking up in verse number 16 of Exodus chapter 22, we've been going through
the commandments on Sunday nights that are found in the law of Moses and we've made it
all the way to commandment number 90 in verse 16 there and you say, why do we study this?
Well the Bible says, the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul.
The Bible also says, blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, but his delight
is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Of course we know that in the New Testament the Bible is real clear, we're under grace
and all these things, but Jesus said, think not that I am come to destroy the law of the
prophets, I am not come to destroy but to fulfill, for verily I say unto you, till heaven
and earth pass, one shot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled.
And there's a reason why we walk around with Bibles that contain Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
Numbers and Deuteronomy, we don't just have those there just because our book wouldn't
be thick enough, you know, without those, you know, really why don't we just get to
the New Testament.
No, we believe the whole Bible is God's word from Genesis to Revelation and we can learn
important principles from what the Bible teaches in Exodus, that's why the New Testament says
that all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction and righteousness.
And so in these commandments we find the perfect wisdom of God and how to order a society,
we also find morality of right and wrong, etc.
