That Paul says he has a holy obligation to God in these verses ought to cause us to think for ourselves – am I under any such obligation to God? Yes, all believers are obligated to thank God. Why? To answer this, we must first answer why Paul feels an obligation of gratitude to God as he thinks of the Thessalonians. Why does Paul sense a duty to give thanks to God?

The main character of this chapter is God. This narrative about the Tabernacle is given to help men know God. This has been a theme of Exodus. In 6:7, the Lord said, “I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the LORD your God.” This story about the Tabernacle helps us know God. Such knowledge demands certain responses of us. So how does the Tabernacle reveal God to us?

In the beginning of Exodus 34, God told Moses to make two new tablets. this is a signal really for what will follow in chapters 34-35:3. At the core of Exodus 34 is a reestablishment of the covenant God gave in Exodus 20-23 and ratified in chapter 24. Verses 6-7 are crucial. But they are part of a bigger picture in this passage related to the covenant, which still hangs in the balance. This passage shows the effects of God’s grace. As the text continues, we begin to understand more the relationship of God’s grace to his dealings with Israel.
