Deuteronomy 5:1

Deuteronomy 5:1 says, And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.  Moses called all the people of Israel together and asked them to hear the statutes and judgments that he would tell them that day, so that they could learn and keep them.  When we gather as God's people today, we need to hear God's laws so that we can learn and keep them.  Just knowing them was not enough then, nor is it now.  We must also keep them.  Verse two adds, The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.  Moses reminded them that God made a covenant with them at Horeb, just as He made a covenant with us when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Verse three continues, The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.  Just as Moses told the people of Israel, God's covenant was not with just one generation of the people of Israel, but is with every current generation.  God's law will never die.  Verse four states, The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,  Moses said God talked to them face to face, or personally, out of the fire.  God continues to speak to the followers of Christ personally today through the Holy Spirit.  Verse five adds, I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying, Moses said He stood between the people and God then because they were afraid because of the fire that God spoke out of and would not go up the mountain.  We have no reason to fear God today as Christians, nor do we need anyone to stand between Him and us, because Jesus Christ already does that.  Verse six continues, I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.  God then reminded them of Who He is.  He is the God Who brought the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt, and He is the God Who brings all those who put their faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord out of the bondage of sin today.
