Answering Children's Questions: What do Jehovah's Laws Mean?

1. Explaining Their Nature 2. Teaching Their Significance 3. Pointing to Their Benefits This sermon explores the theological significance of a child's question regarding God's laws found in Deuteronomy 6. The speaker argues that such inquiries demonstrate the Holy Spirit's regenerating work within covenant children, prompting them to seek understanding rather than resisting duty. The father's response highlights three key aspects: the nature of the law as a witness to God's holiness and covenant friendship, the historical reality of redemption from Egypt as a type of Christ's salvation, and the benefits of preservation and righteousness for believers. The text emphasizes that keeping the law is not a burden but a delight and a necessary expression of love and reverence for God. Ultimately, the sermon urges parents to diligently teach their children these truths to counteract spiritual deception and nurture faith.
