Listen Later

Deuteronomy 10:12–22 presents what Moses identifies as the central demand of the covenant: to fear the Lord, walk in all his ways, love him, and serve him with all the heart and soul. This exposition traces that demand through the covenant renewal of Deuteronomy 10:1–11, its echoes in the prophets and in Christ's own words, and the sovereign grace that alone makes obedience possible.
