“The God of the Law (Deuteronomy 4:1-40)", Will DuVal | 2/8/26

As we settle in for Moses’s retelling of God’s Law in chapters 5-26 of Deuteronomy (lit. “second law”), we need to be aware of how prone we are to reduce the Law to just a list of “Do”s and “Don’t”s. But in his preface in chapter 4, Moses reminds us why the Law is so important and so personal: because of whose Law it is. Before we can fully appreciate God’s Law, we must first learn to appreciate the God of the Law.
