The Law of Moses (3)

Exodus 34


Q: WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW OF MOSES?

A: To get his sometimes disobedient children to understand the Atonement and the fundamental importance of first principles, Jehovah added to the standard gospel message (taught from the days of Adam down to Moses) what is now spoken of as "carnal commandments." These were added as reminders, exercises, preparations stressing a return to first principles of the gospel.

-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Christ and the New Covenant, 145
