LESSON: The covenant at Mount Sinai What problem/tension is left unsettled in this passage? God invites the Israelites into a covenant on the condition that they obey—how can they say no? But clearly they aren’t able to obey, so how can they dare to say yes? Good news! How is this solved in Jesus? In Jesus we’re saved from both the guilt and the power of sin—forgiven and made able to obey. Believe it! How does believing this good news change how we live? We dare to say yes to God with confidence and eagerness.
