God's Law is still valid, but we people..then and now...are the flawed ones. God gave us grace through the sacrifice of His Son so we of the New Covenant are saved once and for all time...but the Law is still perfect and we would be wise to utilize it as a guideline to our lifestyle...especially the 10 commandments, for instance.Linda g.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27106633.post-4833018467675837332013-03-11T14:57:08.034-07:002013-03-11T14:57:08.034-07:00Great point Matt!

While we don't necessarily need to take the instructions to heart, I do think the call to remember what God has done for us is as needed now as it was then! We tend to get comfortable and forget it is God who has given us all things, just as they did.

When one looks at a book like Deuteronomy, one needs to keep in mind to whom it was written and when.<br /><br />The author of Hebrews in 8:13 says this in reference to Jeremiah 31: "By calling this covenant "new," He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear."<br /><br />Also in Hebrews 7:18 "The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the Law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God."<br /><br />As Christians under this New Covenant with Christ as our one and only sacrifice, we need to keep a clear understanding of what Deuteronomy meant to those ancient Hebrews and what it means to us; it is not the same thing.<br />M.L.
