28:07 -Point 3: RETURNING TO THE LORD AND THE RESTORATION OF HIS COMFORTS
Israel’s sojourn in the wilderness was ending while Moses’ ministry amongst them was winding up.
His last exhortations were building up to a climax as he committed himself to telling Israel nothing
but the truth.
The truth is like a two-edged sword which, if received reverently, could comfort us,
and if rejected, could crush us. The chapters capture God’s fatherly concern and exhortation to restrain Israel, His redeemed, from sinning against Him.
He wanted them to remain faithful to His covenant and enjoy the plenteous provisions in the land of Canaan (Deuteronomy 27:3). In pursuance of these goals, He clearly explained the easier path to blessings and the quickest way to come under a curse.
This study focuses on the conditions for receiving either blessings or curses from God; the secrets of remaining in God’s covenant blessings and the authentic route of escape
from the calamitous consequences of sin.
