Identify The Evidence Found In Deuteronomy 2

359 Words2 Pages

The evidence I found in Deuteronomy 4-6 that God wanted the Israelites to obey from love, not duty was by the purpose of God’s love giving them the law to bless them (v.3) The point of the law was to love God (v.5). The purpose of God’s love is not because of something in us, but because of his nature and promise (vv.7-8) Their inheritance of God’s blessing was based on God’s love not their righteousness (vv.4-6). Why Shema ,also known as (Deuteronomy 6:4-55 “ You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” ), was one of the most powerful and well-known passages in the Old Testament was because these words were the purpose for their worship and life purpose as it was set before for the citizens

    Monday morning, I only had a limited amount of time to read God’s word and have my devotions. I decided to read the passage that went along with our discussion to prepare my heart for the day. I was excited that it was in Genesis 3 because I have personally studied this chapter, but better yet, my pastor preached on this chapter Sunday night. I know Satan is the father of lies, however, it amazes me how subtly he does so in this chapter.

    The Old Testament is where God’s law is most discussed and shown. His law, as told through Moses, is his rules we must follow in order to live perfect, Godly lives. Many laws were given in the Old Testament; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy is where God lays out his laws, rules, and ways of life for his people to follow. In the Old Testament, following God’s Law was the only way of achieving Justification and being made righteous before God. Ephesians 2:10 describes the importance of the Law, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

You rarely find a Chinese who can teach speaking Hebrew. Maybe I can also teach you how to read it in Chinese… We have just read Deuteronomy 6:4 in Hebrew and in Chinese. This passage is the central prayer in Judaism and it is also very significant in our Christian faith. Of course, from what we have read, we are missing the verse 6:5 which is “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”

  • The Ten Commandments In The Hebrew Bible

    1634 Words  | 7 Pages

    Because of the consistencies between these prophets’ strongly emphasized messages, they would add two commandments to the original ten: Repent to the Lord your God, for He will show mercy and compassion to your iniquities and let your actions be filled with good intention and conscious, for any action without any meaning behind it is useless. The first new commandment, repent to the Lord your God, for He will show mercy and compassion to your iniquities, is a common theme found in the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible. The book of Hosea, for example, is “designed to call upon Israel to return to the Lord” (New Interpreters’ Study Bible, Sweeny 1256). Hosea uses his marriage as a symbol to the people of Israel to reveal that they are straying away from the God that created them.
