Love is Worship - Deuteronomy 10:12-11:32
from Faithful to the End Hosted by Graceway Church of Michiana
Moses continues his explanation of the greatest command, the first command that is highlighted and explained throughout chapters 6-11 in Deuteronomy. In this section, Moses reviews and calls Israel to actively love Yahweh. Moses begins by calling Israel to fear Yahweh, to walk in his ways, to love him, to worship/serve him and to keep his words. Together these five directives give Israel a clear path to love Yahweh with all their heart, soul and mind. As beleivers, we must respond with genuine love for Jesus because he first loved us. God has still shown his love to us, just like he did Israel, but he has clearly demonstrated his love for us through Jesus and all Jesus has accomplished for us. Does your life reflect a genuine love for Jesus? 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.
