“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him ... and to keep the commandments” (10:13). Moses, recounting Israel’s recent history, reminded them of God’s requirements. The original stone tablets of the Law had been broken, but God had mercifully given them a second chance (10:1-5). God desired holiness, yet he knew they were a sinful people. Ultimately, they needed a “circumcision” of the heart (10:16).

“You shall serve him and hold fast to him” (10:20). We cannot “hold fast” to God on our own. But when we turn toward him in sincere faith, through Christ he comes to dwell within us and change our hearts.
