The Book of Deuteronomy Part 19 | Face to Face

• August 19, 2025 • 7 views

The devotional opens in thanksgiving for being called, saved and enabled to know God’s heart and ways. Continuing Deuteronomy 5, the minister explains that future sessions will select portions rather than maintain a verse-by-verse pace. Deuteronomy is presented as a concentrated witness to God’s dealings with Israel, useful for learning his character. Moses’ call to hear, learn and observe introduces the governing theme: knowledge of God should become obedience. The speaker relates this call to the new covenant by emphasizing the Holy Spirit and God’s laws written inwardly. The message locates the gospel’s witness in the Law, Prophets and Psalms, recalling Jesus’ explanation of the Scriptures after his resurrection. Gentile believers are described as coming directly into Christ, while still needing to learn what the earlier Scriptures reveal about him. Romans 1:4-5 then supplies the language of obedience to the faith, which the minister interprets through love, joy, peace, sobriety, humility and consecrated living. Returning to Deuteronomy 5:2-5, the minister explains the covenant at Horeb and Moses standing between the people and the Lord because of their fear. The Christian application stresses access to God through Jesus’ blood and forgiveness rather than dependence on a pastor as a gatekeeper. The closing prayer asks that listeners use this access effectively. The devotional ends with the programme outro; it does not complete the whole of Deuteronomy 5 or the announced series.
