Deuteronomy 6:10

Deuteronomy 6:10 says, And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,  Moses told them this was the fulfillment of the promise God had made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He would give them a land full of cities not built by their hands.  As followers of Christ today, we will one day be home in Heaven, which has not been built by our hands, and we must live secure in that promise, no matter what is happening in this world.  Verse eleven adds, And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full.  Moses said God had promised that the land would have enough to provide for all their needs without any work on their part, just as heaven will be filled with all we need without any effort on our part.  Of course, even though they did not work to build these cities and orchards, they would be expected to work to maintain them.  Verse twelve continues, Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from m the house of bondage.  Moses then warned them against forgetting God, Who had brought them out of Egypt and had given them all these good things.  As long as we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we are forever saved, but we still cannot afford to forget Him when he richly blesses in this world.  Verse thirteen declares, Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.  Like the people of Israel with God, we as Christians must serve our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ and swear by His name.  Verse fourteen adds, Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;  Just as Moses told the people of Israel, we cannot chase after false gods and effectively serve God at the same time.  Verse fifteen continues, (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.  Moses warned them that if they went after false gods that they would be destroyed off the face of the earth because God is a jealous God.  We cannot profess to follow Christ and still worship other gods, because God still demands complete acknowledgment of Himself as the only God.  Verse sixteen states, Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.  Moses warned the people of Israel against tempting God, and that warning still stands today.  If we begin to make demands on God to prove Who He is instead of simply accepting by faith that He is Who He says He is, we are tempting God.  Verse seventeen adds, Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.  As Moses told the people of Israel then, as followers of Christ today we must diligently keep all of God's laws.  Verse eighteen continues, And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,  Verse nineteen concludes, To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.  Moses told them if they kept all of God's laws that everything would go well with them them and God would cast out all their enemies.  If we put our faith in Jesus Christ today as our Savior and Lord, we are saved forever, and because of that we need to obey the law of God.
