    GOD WRITES THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ON STONE

    God wanted the Israelites to keep the Israelites from having any excuse for disobeying Him, so He came down upon Mount Sinai to give His law. God was clothed with glory and surrounded by His angels. God revealed His law of Ten Commandments in a wonderful and solemn way.SRme 1.628

    God did not trust the angels or anyone else to present His holy law. God Himself spoke His law in a voice so clear that all the people could hear. God did not trust the people to remember His law. God knew that the people forgot His words easily. So He wrote the Ten Commandments with His own holy finger upon tablets of stone. In that way God removed any possibility that the people would confuse His holy laws with human teachings and practices.SRme 1.629

    Then the Lord did more for His people who were so easily led into wrong. God gave His people the Ten Commandments. God also gave judgments and laws that Moses wrote down for the people. These careful directions were given both to protect the sacredness of the Ten Commandments and to lead the people to obey the moral law that God had written on stone.SRme 1.630

    God's law had been given to Adam after his sin. The law had been kept by Noah, and obeyed by Abraham. If people had obeyed this law, circumcision would not have been necessary. If the people had kept the covenant, of which circumcision was a sign, they would never have worshiped idols nor have needed to go down into Egypt. God would not have needed to speak His law from Sinai nor write His law upon tablets of stone. Also, there would have been no need to protect the law by giving additional judgments and laws to Moses.SRme 1.631
