CONTEXTS FOR LOVING YAHWEH OUR ONE GOD:
A SERMON ON DEUTERONOMY 6:6–9
Jason S. DeRouchie, Ph.D. /Associate Professor of Old Testament / Bethlehem College and Seminary Delivered at Northwestern College (MN), March 18, 2010
Introduction
Tuesday we looked at the focus of covenant love in Deuteronomy 6:4: “Hear, O Israel, Yahweh our God, Yahweh is one.” Yesterday we looked at the locus of covenant love in v. 5: “And you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your being and with all your substance.” Today we are going to look at vv. 6–9, which address the various contexts where covenant love is to be operative. This sermon seeks to unpack each of the four verses independently and as a unit. We are going to walk through each verse, one at a time, drawing from them a series of God- saturated, flesh-destroying, Christ-exalting Gospel-nuggets. Are you ready?
