How Then?

God didn’t leave much for interpretation in his dealings with Israel. There were conditions to be kept ; blessings if they were kept and consequences if they were not.

God doesn’t deal with his people the church in the same way under the New Covenant of grace, but he remains the same Holy God. We have been given much because of the finished work of Jesus Christ.

How then shall we live?

Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 ESV
[1] “And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. [2] And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God.

[15] “But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.
