Here at Mt. Horeb, God initiates a covenant with His people. God, in his love, chooses or elects Israel in an act of gracious initiative, just as in previous covenants made with the patriarchs. God had already redeemed Israel from Egypt and now his covenant at Sinai becomes a continuation of that act of redemption. There are conditions for this covenant relationship. “Now, therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant then you will be a peculiar treasure unto me” (19:5). Israel had up to this point experienced God’s special acts of deliverance. Would Israel now choose to go it alone, or would they choose to be obedient to God and follow Him wherever He led? How is it with us today– do we give God lip service as His people, but then complain and try to go about our lives without Him? Or will we respond like Israel, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do?” (19:8) It was God’s desire at Sinai and also today to have the deepest, most profound, and intimate relationship with His created people.
