The book of Deuteronomy is a call to obedience--the proper
response to God's faithfulness and love. Consisting primarily of
speeches that Moses gave to the Israelites shortly before they
entered the Promised Land, Moses' words proclaimed God's covenant
faithfulness in hopes of motivating the Israelites to obey God
despite the coming temptation to conform to the Canaanite
culture.
The challenges they faced then are remarkably parallel to those
facing Christians today as we grapple with the issue of obedience
in a world that offers other attractive ways of life. We wonder:
How can we be faithful to God? And how do we help our children and
the people we lead to be faithful? This book tells us how Moses
tackled these challenges and, as Paul confirms in the New
Testament, Deuteronomy serves "as an example...written down for our
instruction" (1 Cor. 10:11).
Ajith Fernando unpacks the relevance of Deuteronomy and
captivates us with rich anecdotes from his thirty-five years of
ministry to first-generation Christians in Sri Lanka. He offers
concrete examples of how the truths contained in Deuteronomy can be
applied, and he teaches us that obedience is the necessary response
to the God who loves and saves us.
