The Book of Deuteronomy
The Love of God
The first time we read about God’s love for Israel and towards the Gentile is found in the book of Deuteronomy.
Here are the references: 4:37, 10:15 God loved Israel’s fathers 7:7-13, 23:5, 33:2 God loved the children of Israel 10:18-19 God loves the Gentile and commands the Jew to love the stranger
*What did God love them? Because he loved them.
True Statement: One can obey without loving God, but one cannot love without obeying God.

Physical Blessings vs. Spiritual Blessings
God promised the Jew physical, earthly blessings for obeying God’s word (Deuteronomy 11:13-15, Leviticus 26:3-12)
God promised the Church spiritual, heavenly blessings for obeying God’s word (Ephesians 1:1-14)
