- The Sinaitic Covenant: A Covenant of Faith, Not Works

In this continuation of the series, the speaker delves deeper into the **Sinaitic** (or **Mosaic**) **Covenant**, challenging the notion that it was a "works-based" covenant. The message begins by emphasizing the importance of understanding the context of God's word, noting that it was given to a people God had already redeemed and delivered from slavery in Egypt. The video explains that God's pattern has always been **redemption first**, followed by the laws and oaths of the covenant. The speaker argues that the Sinaitic Covenant, like all of God's covenants, was a **conditional covenant of faith**—a person was required to "listen and keep" (**shema** and **shamar**) God's word, and the obedience that followed was a result of God's power working within them, not their own fleshly efforts.

***

- God's pattern is to redeem His people first, then give them the laws and oaths of His covenant.
- The Sinaitic Covenant was conditional on the people "listening" (**shema**) and "keeping" (**shamar**) God's word.
- Obedience is the result of God's power, not a person's own efforts.
- The law has not been done away with, but God's grace gives a believer the power to deny ungodliness and worldly desires.
- A Christian's life is meant to proclaim the "excellencies" of God, and this is impossible if they are living an ungodly life.
- God's grace is not a "cheap grace" that allows people to live however they want.

***

The video concludes by asserting that the Bible is a consistent story of God's faithfulness, and all of His covenants are based on faith, not on human works. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that salvation is a gift received by faith, and the law is a guide for living a life that proclaims God's excellencies. The ultimate takeaway is that the Christian life is about a personal, faith-based relationship with a God who has made a covenant with us, and our obedience is the fruit of that relationship, not the means to obtain it.
