Will obeying God as a Christian make me enjoy my life less? We don’t often ask as blatantly as that, but it’s the premise behind a lot of sin. I think I will be better off and have a better time if I do what I want, even if it’s not what God wants. Deliberate sin is self-serving. But how important is obedience to authority? We have a gospel of grace – we’re not saved by our obedience – so how important is obedience?

The Israelites have just been delivered from years of slavery and oppression and injustice and hopelessness. They’ve been set free by a God who has proved himself to be faithful to his promises and powerful to act.
