OBEYING THE LAW WILL BE OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
Keywords 6:25
And if we are careful to obey all this law before the LORD
our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness."
1. Fear the LORD and serve him only (10-19)
People easily forget
the grace of God when they prosper. So, God repeatedly
taught Israel not to forget him who brought them out of
slavery in Egypt and
gave them houses, wells, vineyards, and olive groves in the
Promised Land. They
should fear the LORD and serve him only. They should not put
the LORD to the
test. If they follow other gods, the LORD God is a jealous
God, and he would
destroy them. If they keep the LORD’s commands and do what
is right and good,
it would go well with them in the good land the LORD
promised.
2. Tell your children (20-25)
Parents were
responsible to teach their children to know the mighty God who
brought Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders. The LORD
gave them the
Promised Land so that they might obey all his commands and
fear him. Then they
would always prosper and be kept alive. If they kept his
commands, that would be
their righteousness.
Prayer Lord, thank you for your saving grace from our
bondage of sin, death, and
Satan. Now, our righteousness is to believe in Jesus and not
to forget
him who died for our sins.
One Word The righteous shall live by faith
