Deuteronomy 5-7

Bible Narrative Project

What would you tell your children if they had to go on through the rest of your life without you? That is what Moses is doing here. He is repeating the 10 Commandments, he is reminding them of how God used him to rescue them out of Egypt and be God’s prophet for them so they would not be terrified. He is reminding them that God loved them not because of anything they did or how awesome they were, because they weren’t awesome. He is warning them to stick close to God. He is reminding them of God’s promises and that he will keep them.
