What does it say?
God gave Moses instructions to prepare the people for a meeting with Him at Mt. Sinai. He told Moses of His desire to enter into a convent relationship with them.
What does it mean?
God wanted to establish the validity and solemn nature of the covenant by having the people prepare themselves to meet with Him at Sinai. It sounds severe that anyone who touched the mountain while God’s presence was upon it would die, but God is holy and they could not stand in His presence. Only Moses and Aaron were “called up” to speak with God. God promised them that if they would obey Him, He would make of them a holy nation, and a “kingdom of priests.” Only those that He makes holy can enter into a relationship with Him.
How should I respond?
God desires to be in a relationship with you. He still desires to come down to us, knowing that we cannot approach Him on our own merits. The Good News is that through the holiness of Christ we can have a relationship with God. It is not through our efforts at holiness that we are made worthy, but through the holiness of Christ. He comes to us where we are, and through Christ we are made holy in God’s sight. Have you committed your life to Christ? How will your life today show that you have been made holy through Christ?

About this Plan
The book of Exodus chronicles the Israelites' rescue from Egypt, deliverance from slavery, and establishment of the tabernacle in the wilderness. In Exodus, we see the premier covenantal promise of God is the reality of his presence among His people, leading, guiding, and directing them towards holiness in Him.
