Read the following verses and then, keeping in mind the context of this week (the whole quarter, actually), answer the questions that follow: " 'And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?'" (Deut. 10:12-13, NKJV).

If you were to summarize the essential meaning of these two verses, what would you say?

In the context of this weeks lesson this text gives us a way to evaluate our position with God. We are asked to Fear God walk in His ways and to love Him ect. We are not left in the dark as to what God requires of us He shares with us plainly and directly. God’s commands represent his will for us , and they are His means of evaluating us.

Of what New Testament text does this remind you, and why does this show us the great importance of the admonition of these verses in Deuteronomy?

Rev 14:6-12

The texts say that God "requires" (or "asks") these things of us. How are we to understand the meaning of this in the context of salvation by faith alone?

Our faith is manifested in our works. We will not have one without the other.

The texts themselves deal greatly with our heart, our soul, with love and with fear—things that are often hard to judge from outward appearances. What outward manifestations of these inward things do the verses talk about? How does the link here between the inward and outward fit in with our understanding of Revelation 14:6–12?

This passage talks about the posture of the heart , and the mind and the motivation of the life. When you are connected to God these things will show it.

Prayer: Lord God almighty please help us to do what you ask of us. Thank you in Jesus name amen.
