Not for Your Righteousness Deuteronomy Chapter 9-

The sermon emphasizes that Israel's impending possession of the promised land is not due to their own righteousness, but rather a consequence of God's judgment against the wickedness of the nations they are displacing and a fulfillment of the covenant made with their ancestors. It underscores the importance of understanding that God's power and sovereignty are at work, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds, and cautions against pride or self-reliance, reminding listeners to obey and trust in God's plan. The message highlights Moses's role as an intercessor, pleading with God to overlook the people's stubbornness and sins for the sake of His own name and the fulfillment of His promises, mirroring the perfect role of Christ as an intercessor for all his children- pleading his own righteousness on their behalf.
