Homilist Deuteronomy 5:28-29 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me… I. OBEDIENCE TO DIVINE LAWS IS ESSENTIAL TO THE HAPPINESS OF THE WORLD. God's laws are not arbitrary institutes; they rise out of the constitution of things; they are not made for the sake of the Sovereign, but for the sake of the subject. II. RIGHTEOUSNESS IN MAN IS ESSENTIAL TO THIS OBEDIENCE. A right heart is a heart that both fears and loves God supremely. III. THE GREAT DESIRE OF THE ETERNAL FATHER, IN RELATION TO HUMANITY, IS THE EXISTENCE OF THIS RIGHT-HEARTEDNESS. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. |
