In this commentary, learn valuable lessons for the Christian faith. Paul's epistle to Philemon reminds Christians of the respect that should be present in the Church. In addition, the Christian is of the virtues of obedience, submission, and love. Finally, the Christian is given an example of how Christians should behave in light of social constructs that may be in opposition to the gospel of Christ.
In this commentary, we will examine Exodus 20. This chapter gives the initial giving of the Ten Commandments. God gave them as a foundation for Israel’s national identity and worship. Their implementation also marked a dividing line in humankind’s history. Though there is controversy and varying commentaries on the Ten Commandments, their eternal truth yet resounds. The Christian, today, should not only memorize these commandments, but also understand their application in the Christian life.
