Exodus 19 gives us the context in which the 10 words of God were given to Israel. We note that the Law was given to a redeemed people (delivered from slavery) so that they might continue in the freedom for which they had been set free. The role of the Mosaic covenant in the plan of God is the subject of much apostolic preaching in the NT, but while it may variously be called a covenant of the 'letter' not the Spirit, a minister of condemnation and death (2 Cor. 3:6, 7, 9), it still serves the covenant of promise. The veil of this covenant is removed in Christ (2 Cor. 3:14), i.e. it is only in Christ that we come to see the Law as it truly is and the purpose of the Mosaic covenant as it truly is.
