Chapter 153 of 1163

Deuteronomy 10

Moses balances the two important themes of law (vv. 1–11) and love (vv. 12–22). Because God loves His people, He gives them His Word to nourish and guide them. We cannot fully experience God’s love for us unless we are obedient to His will. The will of God is the expression of the love of God (Ps. 33:11).

There is no question that God loves His people (vv. 15–18). He has stated it clearly in His Word and has proved it in many ways, especially in giving His Son to die for the sins of the world (Rom. 5:8). We should love God (vv. 12–14) and prove it by our obedient service and our worship. If we love God, we will also love others (v. 19; 1 John 4:7–12).

God wants to write His Word on our hearts and make it a part of the inner person (2 Cor. 3:1–3). If you love the Word, meditate on it daily, and obey it, the Spirit will perform this wonderful work and transform your life.
