Pastor Cameron Lilly explores the Ten Commandments not as rigid constraints, but as a blessing and a foundation for covenantal relationship, challenging a legalistic view often associated with the Pharisees. He frames the commandments using covenant language common in the Ancient Near East (ANE), emphasizing that salvation precedes obedience—meaning faithfulness flows from God's prior grace. Furthermore, he divides the commandments into two sections: the first four focus on being God's image through proper worship, and the latter six address treating others in God’s image with respect and love. Ultimately, Pastor Cameron encourages viewing the commandments less as strict law and more as vows, akin to those in a marriage, which define a committed relationship with the divine.
