Exodus 19:5-6 Observations 1. They are there because of Gods grace. 2. They were delivered from something to something . . . from Egypt to God Himself 3. An obedient response to Gods grace was all about mission . . . living as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation . . . the set-apart ones who represent God to the nations and the nations to God 4. The covenant is crafted and the law delivered within the context of Gods grace mission . . . these were the guidelines that would allow them to live as set apart ones reecting God to the nations.
