[Today: Deuteronomy 29]: Activating the Language of the Covenant. In this chapter, we see that the entirety of the first five books of the Bible is actually the verbiage and terms of an elaborate covenant God makes with His people. Even for New Testament believers, there is an implied command to respond to the INTENT and PURPOSE of God in giving us the Old Testament and the New. Many believers either outright or, in fact, functionally reject the Old Testament as relevant to their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth, as this chapter will show us.
