Synopsis: As Israel continues into the promised land they take time to renew the covenant with
Jehovah, just as Moses had commanded (Deuteronomy 27-28). This lesson will remind you to also
renew your covenant with God also. Four specific reminders are to be a living sacrifice in serving
God; write God’s law on your heart; be obedient; and to be a dedicated reader of God’s word.
“Let all that you do be done with love.”
