Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Today on the Bible Bus, we will cover several laws and customs the children of Israel were to follow. From more dietary laws to tithes and offerings, discover how the Law was almost like a “worship guide” for God’s people. While we are not required to follow many of these laws today, Dr. McGee encourages us to speak out against evil, take care of our bodies, and to give generously to the church.

Stick close to God, and He will stick close to you. We left off in Deuteronomy 11 with the principle of occupancy, which teaches us the painful truth that we often miss out on God’s blessings. In Deuteronomy 11-13, discover how Israel’s place of worship, dietary laws, and warnings against false prophets all offer insight into different ways God’s people were to stick close to Him and how the same truths apply to us today.

It didn’t take long for the children of Israel to lapse back into idolatry again. First, they asked God for the Law and promised they would keep it, then they broke the Law before it was even given to them by making a molten image. In Deuteronomy 10 and 11, discover Israel’s complete ignorance, Moses’ humble prayer, and how God’s anger toward sin and love for His people coincide.

While moving forward can be exciting, God wants us to remember the past, too.

Our love for God is measured by our love for others. In Deuteronomy 6 and 7, we review the importance of keeping God’s commandments and the total summation of the Law in the New Testament: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” In studying the immeasurable love of Elohim, we learn how obedience to Him is a way we can worship Him as Creator of all things.

We were born into conflict with God. Just like the children of Israel needed a mediator, so do we today. They knew their sin kept them at odds with God, and they begged for a mediator. In Deuteronomy 5, Dr. McGee encourages us to meet our Mediator, Jesus. Because of Jesus, you can stand before—or, even better, run to—God unafraid, knowing you are nothing but loved!

What do you want of God? The children of Israel wanted God’s deliverance but didn’t want to have to put in the work to walk with Him.

Hop on board the Bible Bus as we begin our study of the last book of the Pentateuch—Deuteronomy.
