Deuteronomy 30:7-11,19-20
– The Lord your
God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you. You
will again obey the Lord and
follow all his commands I am giving you today. Then the Lord your God will make you most
prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the
young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The Lord will again delight in you
and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors, if you
obey the Lord your God and
keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and
turn to the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul. Now what I am commanding you
today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach…This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses
against you that I have
set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now
choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your
God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is
your life, and he will
give you many years in the land he
swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Deuteronomy
4:29 – But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you
seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Isaiah
45:23 – By myself I
have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word
that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by
me every tongue will swear.
Isaiah 63:1 – Who is this coming from Edom,
from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in splendor,
striding forward in the greatness of his strength?
“It is I, proclaiming victory,
mighty to save.”
Application:
- · The law, the Lord and life are bound together.
- · “With all your heart and…soul” indicates total involvement and commitment.
- · Paul quotes “every knee…every tongue” to describe Christ’s exalted position.
- · “Stained crimson” is Christ’s robe “dipped in blood” as He wages war at His second coming.
