Covenant of the Divine

The Bible describes God's law as the great revealer of sin. There is simply no knowledge of the latter without the former. Therefore, any change to the law invariably affects sin. One simply cannot exist without the other. These facts in particular present an intriguing area of study. Has God's law always existed? Knowing that the old covenant is the Ten Commandments, did any of them come into existence when God spoke these words at Mount Sinai, or were they merely borrowed to re-emphasize the need to obey something that already existed?

In this volume, we search for the answers to these questions. Using nothing but the Bible as our guide and permitting it to explain itself, we begin by studying the first three commandments. However, if we are to succeed in our quest, we must understand what each commandment truly means according to God, not according to us. What we will discover in the process is nothing less than a profound revelation of his holy character. The truths that we will uncover from Scripture will startle the conscience and awaken us to the humbling realization of our genuine need for a Savior.
