Exodus, Law & Identity as God's People
It's easy to read the Ten Commandments as a ladder to climb toward God's favor, but the order in Exodus says otherwise: God delivers Israel from Egypt first, and only then gives the Law at Sinai. The Law was never the price of rescue; it was the shape of a life already rescued, teaching a former slave people how to live as free, holy, and identifiably God's own.
Memory Verse

Discussion Questions
- Do you tend to relate to God's commands as a debt to repay or a gift already given? Why?

Call to Action
Pick one commandment and ask God to show you the freedom, not just the rule, inside it.
