Gospel in Life
with Tim Keller
God’s Law
Wednesday, January 7, 2026
The book of Deuteronomy is a series of sermons Moses preached just before he died. In it, he lays out, in the most comprehensive and practical way, how you should live if you experience the grace and salvation of God. If you experience God, how should that actually affect the way in which you live your life? It’s a very, very practical book and an incredibly comprehensive book.
Today, we get to the Ten Commandments. This is one of the most influential texts in the entire history of the world. Let’s take a look and see what we’re taught about it. It’s awfully basic, but it’s awfully basic because it’s awfully important.
There are four things we’re going to learn here about God’s Law: 1) the origin of the Law; 2) the substance of the Law; 3) the problem of the Law, and 4) the solution to that problem.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 27, 2007. Series: Deuteronomy – Doing Justice, Preaching Grace. Scripture: Deuteronomy 5:6-21, 24-29.

Do You Make “Good” Things into Ultimate Things?
Success. Love. Wealth. Family. Career. We’ve all had the desire to put our hope in these “good” things and make them into ultimate things. In his book Counterfeit Gods, Tim Keller shows us how the Bible reveals the truth about how societal ideals work on our hearts, and that only the God of the Bible can wholly satisfy the desires of our hearts.
Counterfeit Gods is our thanks for your gift to Gospel in Life which helps more people discover the hope and joy of knowing Christ.
