(6v4) 'The Lord is one...': Whatever He requires of us, it must be undivided. We cannot be double-minded or half-hearted.
(6v5) 'You shall love the Lord...with all your heart...': The greatest commandment reveals the core of Christian living
(6v6) '...these words which I command you today shall be on your heart...': A heart that loves the Lord will be a heart burdened for holiness
(6v7) 'And you shall teach them diligently to your children...': A personal challenge to me
(6v20-25)The people are not to forget, in the comfort of the promised land, that it all came about through the mighty work of the Lord. As we find rest in Christ, we must not take His work for granted.
(7v1-5)They are to make no room for the pagan peoples in the promised land. Worship of the Lord is not to be contaminated by idolatry.
The people are saved and brought into the land of promise, not because they are righteous, but because the Lord is righteous(9v5). We are not saved because of our own works, but because of the perfect life of Christ, who, by his blood, overturned sin's mastery of our hearts.
