You can learn a lot about God by looking at what God commands. Today, Pastor Rich looks at how God's commandments reveal much about His character. Let's listen in.This is part 2 of a message titled God made covenant with us, first preached on May 12,2024. It is part of a series then the book of Deuteronomy titled it is because the Lord Loves you.4-5You are probably familiar with The Ten Commandments found in Deuteronomy chapter 5. Deuteronomy 6 holds one of the most well-known commands in the Bible- You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. It calls us to keep His Words on our hearts. These commands are far more than a simple duty. To love our God fully is to be connected to the one we were made for, our very source of life and purpose. Without Him, we are nothing. God knows that without Him, mankind cannot flourish and with Him, we find our soul's deepest need and highest good. As Augustine wrote, our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Him.

God calls you to take care and keep your soul diligently. Why? Because we humans were made to worship. We were made to worship the Lord God who created the universe and holds all of life together. Why? Because we so easily replace the Lord God for created things. If you have entrusted yourself to God through His Son, Jesus, you are in covenant with Him. What is a covenant? And how do we faithfully follow and worship our Lord in light of the distractions and temptations that call for our devotion? Pastor Rich answers these questions from Deuteronomy 4 in this message titled “Keep Your Soul Diligently”.

God commands us to diligently guard our souls. Why? Because humanity was created to worship—to worship the Lord God, the Creator and Sustainer of all life. We are prone to replacing God with created things. If you have committed yourself to God through His Son, Jesus, you are in covenant with Him. What exactly is a covenant? And how can we faithfully follow and worship our Lord amidst the distractions and temptations vying for our devotion? Pastor Rich addresses these vital questions in his message, "Keep Your Soul Diligently," drawn from Deuteronomy 4.
