Live Free

Exodus 20 presents the Ten Commandments not as a way to earn God’s love, but as God retraining a rescued people to live truly free. Like spiritual physical therapy, they reshape old slavery instincts.

The first commands recentre worship on God alone and use Sabbath to test what we really trust. The relational commands guard how we treat others under stress. The final command against coveting exposes the inner desires that fuel other sins. God isn’t terrorizing his people; he’s forming their instincts so freedom can last.
