The Ten Commandments: The Covenant God Remembers - Reformed (Exodus 3)

Source: ChurchWiseAI92 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

In The Ten Commandments, God tells Moses, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." The burning bush revelation is covenant revelation—God is keeping promises made centuries earlier. Reformed theology emphasizes God's covenant faithfulness: "I have remembered my covenant" (Exodus 6:5). The "I AM" is not abstract philosophy but covenant commitment. God's sovereignty ensures His promises are kept—Israel's deliverance was planned from Abraham. The burning bush connects Genesis promises to Exodus fulfillment. God's name guarantees His character: faithful across generations.
