What it is it within man that he must go to such extremes to prove himself worthy? A quiet life lived without excesses, listening to the Holy Spirit and being doers of God’s word pleases God who is full of compassion and mercy to all His creation.
Out of all the nations, God had chosen Israel to be instructed in His law. But the real test of the distinctiveness of these people was their response to God’s revelation. These promises, attached to the fifth commandment, were applicable to all of the commandments.
5:32 “Therefore you shall be careful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
