Deuteronomy 26:16- 27 26, October 16, 2022; The Lord Has Proclaimed You to Be His Special People

Deuteronomy 26:16-27:26, The Lord Has Proclaimed You to Be His Special People
S-1510-KL
This week, we look at final verses of Chapter 26, in which Moses concludes his second imparting of God’s law, this time to a new generation of Israelites about to enter the Promised Land. He exhorts them to obey, as they have promised, and tells them, “The Lord has today declared you to be His people.” As the New Testament reveals, all who believe in Jesus Christ today, even Gentiles, have been adopted into the family of God and are likewise commanded to obey God’s laws.
In Chapter 27, God gives instructions meant to reinforce the importance of the law, including construction of a stone altar and for a ceremony of blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, which the Israelites were to carry out upon their crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Recent archeological discoveries have documented the biblical account in amazing detail. For more information, see:
