God Continues to Save Us from Sin: The Parting of the Red Sea and the Ten Commandments

Through Moses, God leads the Israelites to freedom from slavery in Egypt by parting the waters of the Red Sea and destroying Pharaoh’s army.

Day 1 & 2 & 3

Ten Commandments: Laws of love God gave to Moses for the people of Israel to teach them how to love God and one another. They are an expression of the eternal law of God and help us to resist temptation and avoid sin. They are the foundation of the Christian moral life.
Temptation: Something that attracts or lures a person to sin.
Sin: A deliberate offense against God. It is something we say, think, do, or fail to do that is against the eternal law of God. It is a failure to love God and neighbor.
Beatitude: Happiness or fulfillment. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gave the Beatitudes as the perfection of the Ten Commandments. They teach us how to be truly happy, or reach human perfection and fulfillment which we ultimately find in Heaven. (1711, 1725, 1726, 1975)
