Bible Text: Deuteronomy 8Preacher: Juhan KloosterDeuteronomy translates to “the second law.” The first law was given at Mount Sinai to the first generation, who entered into a Covenant relationship with God. Now this second generation of Israelites are standing at the threshold of the Promised land and Moses is not long for this world. Before Moses’ death and before Israel enters the promised land, Moses calls them together to re-establish their covenant with God. Through the book of Deuteronomy Moses does two things. First, he reminds them of God’s laws and decrees and secondly, He entreats them to uphold their side of the covenant. Here in chapter 8 Moses entreats Israel to Remember and Obey their God, who led them to life.
