4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
7 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

LESSON OUTLINE ONE: WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO WALKIN GOD’S COVENANT?
When we are baptised into Christ, we enter into a new covenant with the Lord Jesus – Galatians 3:26-29. When we stay committed to the terms of the covenant by being obedient to His status, we start and continue in His covenant and this brings us into relationship with the Holy Spirit who helps and guides us to do the right things as we have been taught by the Lord. We must learn to read the word on a daily basis and stay faithful to the teaching through His words.
