An Undistorted Image of God

Before God declared His character to Moses in Exodus 34:6-7, He had publicly addressed His people in Exodus 20. He gave to the people His Ten Commandments which were a reflection of what His people were to be like reflecting His image. The second commandment forbid the making of idols because it distorts the image of God. God declared what He is like so that people would not confuse His image. The statement in this section is a prelude to what God will share with Moses that displays His glory. This sermon is a prequel to Exodus 34:6-7.
