Deuteronomy 4 |
When you were growing up, did you ever go away from your parents for a few days? You might have gone to camp, on a school band trip, or a church youth retreat.
What did your parents do just before you left home? They probably recited a long list of reminders. You probably heard “Don’t forget” and “Remember” many times before you left on your trip.
Why did your parents review all of those instructions? Because they cared about your safety and well being. They wanted what was best for you, so they repeated many instructions and warnings.
Just before Israel entered the Promised Land, God used His spokesman Moses to remind the Israelites about many instructions and warnings. God told them to be careful not to forget several things. We need to remember the same things God wanted the Israelites to remember. Take heed, lest thou forget the following:
|
God’s Commands |
|
Deut. 4:1 |
Moses told Israel to remember God’s laws and rules. What did he say would happen if they remembered them?
|
|
“Ye shall not _______ unto the ________ which I ____________ you, neither shall ye ___________ ought from it.” Israel was to remember and obey God’s commands.
|
|
|
God’s Awesome Power |
|
|
What did God warn Israel not to forget?
|
|
Deut. 4:10-11 |
Years earlier, God called Israel together at Mt. Horeb to teach them His Law. What did the Israelites see there?
|
|
What did Israel hear at Horeb?
|
|
|
What did God give to Israel?
|
|
God wanted Israel to remember His commands and instructions to them. He wanted them to remember His awesome power and the fear they felt in His presence. That fear and reverence should have motivated Israel to obey God, but it didn’t. We should remember:
|
God’s Promise of Punishment |
|
Deut. 4:23-24 |
God warned Israel not to get involved in idolatry. How did Moses describe God?
|
|
What did God promise to do to Israel if they corrupted themselves and worshipped idols?
|
|
|
What else did He promise to do to Israel?
|
|
|
Since Israel was so interested in worshiping false gods, God promised to scatter them in foreign lands where idols were worshipped.
|
|
|
God’s Offer of Repentance |
|
Deut. 4:29-30 |
Even after Israel corrupted herself and became scattered in pagan lands, they could still return to God. What did God promise in verse 29?
|
|
If we repent, God will not __________, __________, or ____________ us.
|
|
Just like the Israelites, God has promised that if we disobey Him, we will bear the consequences brought on by our sin. If we repent of our sins and seek God, we will find Him. Praise God that He still offers repentance to His wayward children! There is one more thing we should take heed of, lest we forget:
|
Our Position In Jesus Christ |
|
Deut. 4:32-34 |
Did God treat any other nation like He did Israel?
|
Deut. 4:35-36 |
God revealed Himself and spoke to Israel.
|
Deut. 4:37-38 |
God brought Israel out of bondage and gave them a new land. Why did He do this?
|
|
What was Israel to remember?
What was Israel to do?
