Deuteronomy 30:1-14

The grace of God holds in reserve the "secret things" (Deuteronomy 29:29) of which this lovely chapter speaks to us. "Not only will the Lord gather together His people again, bring them back, multiply them and act powerfully on their behalf, but He will also operate within them a mighty work of grace which is worth far more than any external prosperity" (C.H.M.). In a future time God will act in the hearts of His people to produce in them obedience and love towards Him (Hebrews 8:10). He has been inviting them for a long time: "If thou wilt return, O Israel . . . return unto me" (Jeremiah 4:1; Hosea 14:1-2). So, all that patient work will not have been in vain! "And thou shalt return . . . " (v. 8).

Romans 10 quotes vv. 12-14 in applying them to "whosoever believes." Christ, the living Word, came down from heaven where man could not ascend, in order to reveal the heart of God who desires all men to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4). Friend, do not say that salvation is too fantastic and you are too wretched (v. 11). No matter how far away you may be, Jesus is very close to you. Open your heart to Him now!

As for us Christians, let us be aware that if the Word is in our mouths and in our hearts, it is not there to remain fruitless but to be practised (v. 14; read John 13:17).
