Chapter 2
The text: God directs Israel to leave Moab alone, and to attack the Amorites.
Jesus' work brings us into a specific inheritance.
Life application: In wisdom, we should know what enemies of Christ to fight, and who to leave alone.
Chapter 3
The text: Israel conquers Sihon. Moses gives Reuben and Gad the land of Gilead, east of the Jordan. Moses may not enter the promised land because of his disobedience.
Jesus gives His people a unique inheritance and gifts.
Life application: Disobedience may lessen our reward, our enjoyment, of the inheritance God gives us in glory.
Chapter 4
The text: Moses calls Israel to obey God, because of all He has done for them.
Jesus recaps this in the Great Commission: "teaching them to obey all I have commanded you..."
Life application: We serve and obey God because He made us, yes. But the Scriptural emphasis is because of what He has done for us. "I am Yahweh, who brought you out of Egypt. [Therefore] You shall have no other gods before Me."
