This video discusses Deuteronomy chapter 30, and its connection to Romans chapter 10.The speaker begins by referencing the end of Deuteronomy chapter 29, which focuses on the Israelites turning away from God and being uprooted from their land. Deuteronomy chapter 30, however, offers a more positive message, promising that if they return to God, He will restore them from captivity. The speaker notes that this has happened periodically throughout Israel’s history and believes it has long-reaching end-time applications, with the people of Israel eventually returning to the land in belief.The speaker also highlights the theme of “worshiping the Lord or serving the Lord with all their heart and soul” and the choice between “life and death”. He explains that by following God, we find true and eternal life.Finally, the speaker discusses Deuteronomy 30:11-14, which states that God’s commandments are not “too difficult” or “out of reach”. He connects this to Romans chapter 10, where Paul uses the same passage in the context of salvation. Paul’s message is that salvation is not something you have to ascend to heaven or descend into the abyss for; it is “very near”. The speaker concludes by explaining that Paul applies this Deuteronomy passage to salvation, stating that if you “confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord” and “believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you’ll be saved”.___The Three-Year Reading PlanSouthern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God’s Word.
