1. Covenant is the only way to relate to God.
Deuteronomy 29:2a, 9, 12-18 (NIV)Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them: Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do. You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the LORD your God, a covenant the LORD is making with you this day and sealing with an oath, to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I am making this covenant, with its oath, not only with you who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God but also with those who are not here today. You yourselves know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the countries on the way here.You saw among them their detestable images and idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold. Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the gods of those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces such bitter poison.
Deuteronomy 29:9 (NIV)Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do
Deuteronomy 29:18 (NIV)“But make sure there’s no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the Lord your God and worships other gods.”
Deuteronomy 29:13b (NIV)“...that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”
Genesis 15:18 (NIV)“Therefore, God made a covenant with Abraham.”
Galatians 3:13-14 (NIV)“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to us all through Jesus Christ.”
2. Jesus followed the covenant perfectly and fulfilled the curse of the covenant by his death.
Deuteronomy 29:18 (NIV)“Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God”
3. God wants all of your heart.
John 13:35 (NIV)“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
