Isn't it amazing at how much of the Old Testament lines up with what happens today with salvation? In this section, Moses starts by telling the people to remember what God has given them - things in which they don't deserve. He then tells them to worship this God, and this God only! The God who gave them something they did not deserve. Then he goes on to say that when their sons ask them why they are so diligent in keeping these commandments that they should say that it is because of what God delivered them from.
Wow! Isn't that so true today?! God has given us something that we don't deserve - Christ - and this is the One that we should serve only! This God that loves us so much as to give up so much so that we may live. And then when people ask why we serve God so much, our reply is that we serve Him because of what He has brought us out of. For me, He brought me out of a many great sins and I am forever greatful. He released me from the bonds of addiction and set me free! Because of that, I trust Him and serve Him only. That is our reply, much like the reply of the Israelites. This Book just keeps getting better!
