Deuteronomy 6:1

Deuteronomy 6:1 says, Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:  Before they went into the Promised Land, Moses again told the people of Israel what God's commandments, statutes and judgments were, so that they would know to keep them.  Moses wasn't going in with them, but God was.  Though other Christians may die, God is always with those who put their faith in Jesus Christ, and we need to remember all His laws and commandments and keep them.  Verse two adds, That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.  Moses said that if the people and their dependents obeyed God that their days, I believe as a nation and even as individuals ,would be prolonged.  If we obey God today by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, our days will be prolonged to last forever.  Verse three continues, Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.  Moses called on them to not only hear, but to do, what God called on them to do that their days would be long in the land God gave them, a land flowing with milk and honey.  When we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we are promised an everlasting home flowing with everything we will ever need.  Verse four states, Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:  Moses called on the people of Israel to acknowledge that there was but one God, and there still is today.  If we are to spend eternity in Heaven, we must first acknowledge Who God is.  Verse five adds, And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  Just as Moses told the people of Israel then, we must love God with all that we are.  Verse six declares, And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:  Moses said that the words that he taught them, God's words, needed to be written in their hearts to guide them in all that they did.  In order to serve God, His words must guide us in all that we do.  Verse seven adds, And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.  Just like the people of Israel, we need to teach our children God's laws diligently and at all times.  We cannot expect them to learn all about God in just a few hours one or two days a week.  Verse eight continues, And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.  Moses told them that they needed to keep God's laws continually before them, and so must we.  Verse nine concludes, And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.  God's laws were to be written where they could be easily seen.
