Solid Words

As Believers, since God has totally blessed us in Christ, He deserves our blessing.

In this chapter of Deuteronomy, Yahweh institutes a centralized place of worship for Israel as they transition into the Promised Land.

As believers, we are to boast only in the Cross of Christ.

Choosing obedience, love, and loyalty to God ensures the blessing of God's presence in possessing the Promised Land. Disloyalty to God (by worship false gods) will result in the cursing of God.

God has a calling on every human life at the point of conception. That calling is to always bring Him Glory.

God reminds Israel that it is not because of their righteousness that they will conquer the land (because they rebelled against Him in the wilderness), but because of the wickedness of the nations they will dispossess. Also, it is because of the Lord's faithfulness to the promise He made to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

As Believers who are walking in the Spirit, we are called to humbly help our brother/sister in need, and consistently give to meet the needs of other saints.

That as believers, we are called to use freedom in Christ as an opportunity to walk in the Spirit, not an opportunity to fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

In Deuteronomy 7, the Lord commands Israel to: utterly destroy the Canaanites, not intermarry with them, and destroy their idols because they are His special, chosen people. God also promises Israel blessings for their obedience to His commands and calls them to have confidence in His strength as they proceed to conquer the land.

We as believers are the stand in liberty in which we have been called. We are not slaves to the law but are free to serve Christ as heirs.
