Whole-Hearted Allegiance - Deuteronomy 6:1-9
from Faithful to the End Hosted by Graceway Church of Michiana
As Moses continues and develops this second sermon on the words of Yahweh and the priorities that those words present, Moses begins by calling the people to genuinely love Yahweh. This initial command, as Moses puts it, is the command - the command that summarizes and encapsulates all the rest of the statutes and ordinances. For believers, this command translates to loving Jesus, who is Yahweh, come in the flesh. We must love Jesus supremely and live in committed, whole-hearted obedience to 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.
