1These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess, 2so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged. 3Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
“The Hebrew is emphatic here. Moses called attention to The Commandment. In the following verses, God reduced the law to one ruling principle - one commandment that encompassed all the commandments.” (Guzik)
“be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper” Notice the warning!
“multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey” Notice the blessing!
Likewise we received a warning and a blessing!
2 Timothy 2: 11This is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with Him,
we will also live with Him;
12if we endure,
we will also reign with Him;
if we deny Him,
He will also deny us;
13if we are faithless,
He remains faithful,
for He cannot deny Himself.
Have you died with Him?
Blessings
