Description: In this lecture, Don Carson discusses God’s role as both Creator and Legislator, challenging listeners to consider the Bible's laws and their relevance in today's society amidst objections to Christian morality. He explores the importance of boundaries in truth and freedom, drawing connections between God's laws, the Mosaic Covenant, and the story of the Israelites. Carson concludes by pointing to Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice that fulfills the law and reconciles humanity to God.He teaches the following:All communities have boundaries, and no community can be completely inclusiveTruth is inevitable and cannot be escaped, even in a post-modern contextWhy freedom must have discipline, and how this truth is biblically basedThe historical significance of each commandment in Exodus 20, and their relevance for Christians todayHow the Ten Commandments are related to God's self-disclosure in a redemptive actHow the sacrificial system fits into the broader storyline of God’s relationship with his people
