Grace to Love and Cling to God

How does the Christian choose life? Deuteronomy 30:11–20 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these ten verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the Christian chooses life by God's grace, which gives him to love and cling to God, in Christ. Deuteronomy 30:11–20 reveals that God's commandments are not distant or unattainable, but near—accessible through His Word and Spirit, Who makes them real in the heart and mouth of the believer. The passage emphasizes that true obedience is not mere external compliance but a life of loving, hearing, and clinging to God, rooted in His grace and made possible only by the Holy Spirit's work in regeneration.
