Freedom!
God sets you free—not free to do anything you feel like doing—free to live a happy and meaningful life. The Israelites’ road map of Exodus 20 can be your road map as well. You don’t have to keep trying things in order to discover what’s good and what’s bad. Your map tells you.
The book of Exodus tells how God stepped in with stunning miracles to free the Israelites. Exodus contains the Ten Commandments, God’s road map to the good life. Then Exodus records what happened when the Israelites followed the road map, and what happened when they chose detours.
