"And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in." Isaiah 58:12

 

The Moral Law

 

     The principles governing the conduct of all God’s intelligent creatures are expressed in the Ten Commandments as spoken by God on Sinai and written on stone. They existed before the creation of this world and were in no way affected by the fall of Lucifer or the plan of salvation. They are expression of God’s character.

 

Origin and Purpose of the Law

 

     That God’s people might understand exactly what was required of them; God expressed the principles of His government in the Ten Commandments and delivered them in writing to the people gathered about Mount Sinai. These principles are as eternal as God himself.

 

  1. Quote the law of God as found in Ex. 20:3-17

 

  1. Who gave the law on Sinai? Ex 20:1, 2; 1 Cor. 10:1-4; Neh. 9:6-13. Was it God the Father or Christ?

 

Preservation of the Law

  1. On what was it written? Deut. 10:4.

 

  1. Where were the tables of stone kept? Deut. 10:5

 

  1. Where were these tables kept after Solomon built the temple? 1 Kings 8:5-9

 

  1. What finally became of the ark and the law?

 

“Among the righteous still in Jerusalem, to whom had been made plain the divine purpose, were some who determined to place beyond the reach of ruthless hands the sacred ark containing the tables of stone on which had been traced the precepts of the Decalogue. This they did. With mourning and sadness they secreted the ark in a cave, where it was to be hidden from the people of Israel and Judah because of their sins, and was to be no more restored to them. That sacred ark is yet hidden. It has never been disturbed since it was secreted.” PK 453

 

  1. Did the law of God exist before it was delivered to Moses on Sinai? If so, give proof. Gen. 26:5; Ex. 16:1-4; Rom. 5:12-14; 1 John 3:4

 

     Since sin is the transgression of the law, and sin existed before Sinai, the law must therefore have been in force during that period.

Purpose and Character of the Law

  1. What is the purpose of the law? Rom. 7:10; Lev. 18:5.

 

  1. Into how many parts may the law be divided? Matt. 22:34-40

 

  1. Divide the commandments into two parts according to this rule.

 

  1. Name seven characteristics of the law. Rom. 7:12, 14; Ps. 119:142, 172; 19:7.

 

Principal texts: Ex. 20:3-17; Neh. 9:6-13; 1 Cor. 10:1-4; Gen. 26:5

 

Gem. “Man’s destiny will be determined by his obedience to the whole law. Surpreme love to God and impartial love to man are the principles to be wrought out in the life.” DA 498
