Self-Righteous Delusion - Deuteronomy 9:1-10:11
from Faithful to the End Hosted by Graceway Church of Michiana
Moses continues his challenge to Israel, offering a third warning when they enter the promised land. Moses warns the people about their own self-righteousness. He challenges them not to think that their own righteousness has brought their success in the land. Moses challenges them three times and offers three reasons they should not be self-righteous. Self-righteousness is still an issue for us today. We are so prone to think that we have accomplished the good things we enjoy, rather than giving God the glory for his obvious work on our behalf. Self-Righteousness prevents us from seeing the faithful power and intercession of Jesus for us through the gospel. 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.
