Teaching Points Obedience as an Expression of LoveTrue love for God is demonstrated through obedience to His commandments. This is not a burdensome task but a joyful expression of our relationship with Him. Walking in God's Ways To walk in God's ways means to live a life that reflects His character and values. This requires daily commitment and intentionality in our actions and decisions. Holding Fast to God In times of trial and temptation, we are called to cling to God, trusting in His promises and faithfulness. This steadfastness is crucial for spiritual growth and perseverance. The Importance of Community The commandments were given to the community of Israel, emphasizing the role of community in encouraging and supporting one another in obedience and faith. Blessings of Obedience While obedience is an act of love, it also brings blessings and favor from God. These blessings are both spiritual and, at times, material, as seen in the context of entering the Promised Land.(22) To walk in all his ways.--"He is compassionate, and thou shalt be compassionate. He showeth mercies, and thou shalt show mercies." Again Rashi's comment is worthy of the New Testament. What follows shows the need of a mediator. To cleave unto him.--Is it possible to speak so? Is He not "a consuming fire "? (and how can we cleave unto Him?) "But cleave unto wise men and their disciples (the students of the Law), and I tell thee it will be as though thou didst cleave unto Him." In New Testament language this would read, "Be ye followers of me, as I am of Christ;" and "He that receiveth Me, receiveth Him that sent Me." Verses 22-25. - If they were sedulous to keep God's commandments, and faithfully adhered to him, loving him and walking in all his ways, he would drive out before them the nations of the Canaanites, and cause them to possess the territory of nations greater and mightier than themselves. Every place on which the soles of their feet should tread should be theirs, i.e. they had but to enter the land to become possessors of it. This is more exactly defined as restricted to the land the boundaries of which are given - from the Arabian desert on the south to Lebanon on the north, and from the river Euphrates on the east to the Mediterranean on the west (Deuteronomy 1:7). From the wilderness and Lebanon; read, even unto Lebanon; הַעֶ בָנון is for עַד־הַלְּ בַנון(cf. עדהַיָּם in the end of the verse). The uttermost sea; rather, the hinder sea (Numbers 34:6), the sea that lay behind one looking to the east (ver. 26; cf. Deuteronomy 7:24; Deuteronomy 2:25; Exodus 23:27).Parallel Commentaries ...
