People Who Walk in God's Way (Deuteronomy 10:12-22)
Alastair Curry, 2 February 2014
Part of the Missio Dei - Part Two : The People of Mission series, Sunday Morning service
Together with Genesis 18:18-19, this passage underlines the importance of ethics in the purpose of God's choosing His people, and the basis for our mission. God has chosen us to be a community that reflects His character, doing righteousness and justice in a world filled with oppression and injustice - so that we might be a blessing to the nations. God's purpose to bless the nations is inseparable from God's ethical demand on the people He created to be the agent of that blessing. What is our goal? Where is our heart? Deuteronomy 10:12-22

Deuteronomy 10:12–22 (Listen)
12 “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, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good? 14 Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. 15 Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. 16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn. 17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. 18 He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. 19 Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 20 You shall fear the LORD your God. You shall serve him and hold fast to him, and by his name you shall swear. 21 He is your praise. He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen. 22 Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.
