Deuteronomy 5:1 And Moses unto Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statues and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
In this chapter, Moses repeats for the second time (the first was in Exodus 20) the Covenant Commandments. (Deuteronomy means “Second Law.”) He repeats the Ten Commandments after and because of the Great Deliverance. Because I did this for you, therefore you will do this for Me.
The Law was created by God to bless our lives on earth and the more and better we keep the Commandments the better life will be. Though Adam, and every human since, has broken the Law and messed up a wonderful life, the Second Adam has come to keep it perfectly for us and give us obedience and life. On account of that gospel we have the desire, the motivation, and the Spirit’s power to live a better life than we had before salvation.
Therefore, our response to God and His love is to hear, read, and receive the Word of Law and Gospel. And upon hearing with faith, we are willing and able to learn more about the Word through church, Bible Study, and private devotions. The Spirit imprints it on our heart so that He, through us, actually keeps it more closely and really does it better.
The response is hear and believe. Then we will keep and do.
