For Your Information
Dear Friends,
The need to counsel with your doctor
. or attorney occurs more frequently than
with your funeral director. Yet, just as you
consult with a doctor and an attorney in
advance of need, wouldn't it be equally wise
to choose and establish a reassuring rela
tionship with your funeral director?
Respectfully,
SWINDELL

GOD AND MAN
IN COVENANT
(Exodus 19:34;
20:2-4,7-8, 12-17)
. Over a hundred years ago
Voltoire, the French infidel,
declared that there would
not be a copy of the Bible on
earth in a hundred years.
For scores of years, the
Geneva Bible Society has
used the very printing press
on which the infidel printed
his prophecy. Today, more
than 400,000,000 Bibles are in
circulation.
When God spoke His word
to holy men of old He
purposed that His , word
would stand for all
generations. God's word is
eternal. His word never
changes. It is more up-to-date
than today's
newspaper..
God purposed that His will
be made known unto man.
God further purposed that
His will be obeyed. God of
His own initiative entered
into covenant with man.
Exodus 19:3-6 describe the
method God used to reveal
His will to man.
The Method,
Exodus 19:3-6
God did not use some
magic formula or device to
make His will known to
man. His word came to men
through a man. God called
Moses up to the mountain.
Moses in all of these
experiences never saw God.
He heard Him. Man still
walks by faith not by sight.
God's method was to
speak to Moses and Moses
was to convey God's word to
all of the people. The people
had already experienced
God. God has demonstrated
his concern and His strength
by leading them out of the
land of Egypt. God now calls
upon them to hear His word
and be obedient.
Men are called upon today
to be obedient to God. There
are laws of God and they are
grounded in His holy nature. -Man
is not to obey laws and
customs simply because it is
the thing to do. This can
become legalistic and
enslave men who were
intended to be free. Man is
to obey the will of God
because of who God is and
what God has done for the
human race. God has the
right to expect obedience to
His will.
God's method was to
create a people who wquld
be a peculiar treasure unto
Him above all people of the
earth. But even in this God's
method can be seen. This
peculiar people would be His
witness to the nations of the
world. God was and is
concerned for all of the
earth, "for all of the earth is
mine."
His obedient people would
be a kingdom of priests, and
an holy nation. They would
be the means whereby God
would reveal His love and
His grace to the world.
The Majesty,
Exodus 20:2-4, 7-8
God entered into covenant
with man. This covenant
was different from the usual
covenants. As a usual thing
covenants were between
equals, but this covenant
was between the Creator
and the created. God must
be recognized for who and
what He was. God was Lord.
He was their Deliverer from
bondage. They must put
Him first in all of life.
No idolatrous
represenations of God were
allowed. God is altogether
different from anything else
in all of creation. Nothing is
like God. To try to represent
God with any form or image
is to sin against His nature.
God's name represents
His nature. God's nature is
holy. " To use His name
lightly, empty, without
meaning is to sin against the
person God is. This means
more than cursing with
God's name. Many
professing Christians use
God's name as a by-word. '
Many profess to be the
children of God, yet fail to
be obedient to His will. This
also is to take God's name in
vain. .
God's peculiar people
were to observe the sabbath
day and keep it holy. To
properly observe the Lord's
Day would be one sure way
of recognizing that every
day and all time really
belongs to God.
As God's people walked in
faith, showing themselves to
be rightly related to Him,
they would be the means of
turning many others to
righteousness. Not only
were they to recognize their
relationship to the Father
but they had responsibilities
one to another because they
had become members of
God's family.
The Members,
Exodus 20: 12-17
In this covenant
relationship parents must
receive the honor due them.
God had given life through
the parents. Children were
expected to remember that.
There was to be no killing.
Life was a gift from God.'
Man was made in the image
of God. No man must be
allowed to take the life of
another. That prerogative
belongs to God alone.
Adultery, including
extramarital sexual
relations whether married
or single, was prohibited.
This was protection for
sacredness of the homel
and still is.
Stealing, lying, and
covetousness could not be
allowed in the covenant
relationship of God md
His people. It needs to' be
remembered that no ope
ever really breaks these
laws of God. Many people
are broken over the laws tjut
they still stand unscarred,
unwavering, undiluted!
BIBLE QUESTION '
OF THE WEEK-
"One hears a lot about
preaching or teaching the
Gospel. Just what is the
Gospel?" ;'
ANSWER
I Corinthians 15:1-4 is 'the
best definition of the
Gospel:. ...that Christ died
for our sins according to the
scriptures; and that he was
buried, and that he rose
again the third according to
the scriptures." '
