a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and
daughters, Says the LORD Almighty. 1

cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the

1 PETER 55, 6
5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves
to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to
one another, and be clothed with humility, for
God resists the proud, But gives grace to the
humble. 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the
mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due
time
HUMILITY PRECEDES GLORY

THE VALUE OF DEUTERONOMY

• It was written for our learning (Rom. 154)
• That Jesus quoted from Deuteronomy in all three
  temptations is significant (Matt. 44, 7, 10)

by the things which He suffered. 9 And having
been perfected, He became the author of eternal
salvation to all who obey Him

• Will you hear the message from Moses?
• Will you obey?
• Salvation is only given to those who obey!

Matthew 721
"Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
does the will of My Father in heaven.
