“OBEY MY VOICE.” EX. 15:5, 6.

The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Israel, If ye will obey my voice . . . ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests.” Dr. Adam Clarke in his commentary on this text says it “could not receive its perfection but under the gospel,” under which dispensation, “every believing soul offers up for himself that Lamb of God which was slain for, and which takes away, the sin of the world.” He then refers to 1 Pet. 2: 5, 9, and Rev. 1: 6; 5: 10.
Now is not this correct? And if so, since the ten commandments were the voice of God to his people, do they not, as a matter of consequence, come down to us here as a rule of life, where, if we are his, we become a kingdom of priests, and every member of the mystical body of Christ offers up the Lamb of God for himself?
