This week’s lesson looks at the background of God’s giving the law to Moses and the response of the people to God. In so doing, it causes us to focus again on the absolute, transcendent holiness of God (see Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). This week’s study should give us a new sense of reverence and awe before God who alone is worthy of our worship and service. When we comprehend God’s holy character, we can more fully thank Him for the gospel of grace through Jesus Christ.
