What is it that would provide the greatest motivation to prevent you from trusting God for salvation then leaving Him out of your everyday decisions—like how you use your time, money, resources, and relationships?
If we call on Jesus inviting Him into our lives, yet we don’t invite him into our bank accounts, calendars or ambitions then we have a compartmentalized faith.
Deuteronomy 5:24-29
Exodus 20:20
We should fear standing before God in sin more than we fear physical death.
Many of God’s greatest blessings are connected to our obedience.
Understanding Deuteronomy as a suzerain-vassal covenant highlights:
- That the law is relational and covenantal, not just legal.
That God’s commands are rooted in His previous acts of salvation. - That Israel’s identity and destiny are tied to their loyalty to God as King.
Deuteronomy 6:1-3
What would be your greatest motivator to keep you from compartmentalizing your faith?
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Your love for God should be evident in every rhythm and aspect of your life!
Repetitive obedience and faithfulness in every aspect of our lives is critical for a personal relationship with God. Our greatest motivation for obedience will not be fear, but love!
