Ten Words - Deuteronomy 4:44-5:33
from Faithful to the End Hosted by Graceway Church of Michiana
Moses now begins his second sermon on the law, initially reviewing the Decalogue, the Ten Words of Yahweh to his people. These Ten Words are the foundation of the covenant agreement between Yahweh and his people, but they develop into much more both in Exodus and here in Deuteronomy. Again, Moses calls the people to hear and to do these Ten Words. Just as Yahweh was committed to his people Israel, demonstrated through his covenant commitment to them, God is committed to us, his people, today through the covenant he makes with us in Christ. As evidenced by Jesus, God’s covenant commitment to you is unshakeable. Our great God and Savior can and must be trusted because he never fails us and he always keeps his word. As believers, we can rest in him and trust him and we must follow him. 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.
