The Back to the Bible Beginning to End Reading Plan

Today's reading from Deuteronomy 5 -7

Deuteronomy 5 shows Moses teaching the new generation of the Ten Commandments. The word covenant is very important in the Bible. Moses reminded them in verse 2 that the Lord formed a covenant with them at Horeb. What is a covenant? Examples of covenants are given in this Covenant link This covenant is presented to them forty years and is the same as the forefathers in Exodus 20. He warned them that they must learn them and follow them. To reiterate the intent behind the Commandments, these were based on LOVE not a bunch of DOs and DONTs! Commandments 1-4 is loving God, commandments 5-10 is loving your neighbor. Again, in verse 32 the word be careful to do what the Lord commanded you, do not turn aside to the right or left.
Deuteronomy is known as the book of Love, this is seen especially in Deuteronomy 6.In verse 4-5: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. He reminded the people to tech their children the commandments (v.7-9). We tend to forget that God is a jealous God and that He is the only one who deserves our praise and worship. They were to remind their children what God had done for them (v.20-25). It is very important for us to spend time quality time with our children, teaching them the Word. Proverbs 22.6 says 'Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it'
Deuteronomy 7 spoke about what do to when the Israelites get to Canaan. They were to drive the inhabitants out of the land. They should not intermarry with them and destroy their shrines and idols. In verse 7-8, God said that he chose the Israelites because they were the fewest of people and that He loved them! God gave the assurance that He would be with them to drive the nations out. All they had to do was to have faith in Him v. 21-26. What about us. These nations are a Bible type for sin. A type is a symbol or metaphor. What are we suppose to do with sin in our lives? We are supposed to drive them out. We must put sin to death (Gal 2.20).God is the one who gives us the victory.
