Deuteronomy
This book is both a summary of Moses’ final days and a treaty summarising the covenant agreement God was forming with his chosen people, Israel, before they entered their promised land.
God marked out a way of life for Israel with reminders of his power and love for them, principles to guide their thinking and numerous laws to shape their lives in practice.
It also includes prophetic insight into the fact that people would struggle and fail to live by these laws, but there is hope for the future – and for us – in God’s enduring choice to love and bring people to him by ways which were not known to Moses but can be known by us.

What could a close walk with God equip you for?
