Equity and Honesty - Deuteronomy 23:19-25:4
from Faithful to the End Hosted by Graceway Church of Michiana
As Moses continues this sermon to Israel before they enter the land of promise, he now turns to address the 8th and 9th words - do not steal and do not bear false witness. Both of these commands work together to call the people to show equity and to be honest with one another. Honesty is honored by the Lord, he hates lying - bearing false witness. As believers, Jesus calls us to equity and honesty which must define our relationships and actions with others. Deuteronomy is one of the most significant books in our OT, but one that is often not addressed. Throughout Deuteronomy, Moses will challenge Israel over and over again, to hear the word of Yahweh, and then, to heed it in obedience. Deuteronomy displays the character and attributes of Yahweh in numerous ways, it especially emphasizes the love of Yahweh poured out on Israel. Deuteronomy ultimately sets a choice before us, a choice to prioritize and follow Yahweh, to be right with him through Jesus alone.
