Know Him

Deuteronomy 7 says, But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.

We aren’t redeemed because of anything good we have done, and we cannot earn our redemption.  We are redeemed because the Lord loves us and keeps his promises.

In fact, he keeps his promises (covenants) of love to a 1000 generations of those who love him and obey him.

Right in the middle of these verses we are instructed to “know” that the Lord our God is God.

Oftentimes, some people experience the redeeming love of God through belief in his Son and forgiveness of sins.  However, the experience ends there.  It’s like marrying a man, making your covenant vows, then going your separate ways. That’s not a marriage.

God wants us to know that he is God, that there is none like Him, that he is faithful and he is love.  Marrying a man is only the beginning. We move in with him and get to really know him over time, until we know his character and his ways. 

Have you been redeemed?  Do you know that the Lord is God?
