4 priceless Treasures

 Read Deuteronomy 4. 

God's people belong to Him by His creation, by His choice, and by His redemption.  He has full claim.

"...to be a people of his own inheritance." (v.20) 

Four priceless treasures separate faith in the true and living God from all man-made religions.

1. The Uniqueness of God.

"To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides him." (v.35)

"...know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other." (v.39) 

2. Prayer to God. 

"For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?" (v.7) 

3. The Word of God.

"And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so righteous as all this law that I set before you today?" (v. 8) 

4. The Mercy of God.

"...you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.  When you are in tribulation and all these things come upon you in the latter days, you will return to the LORD your God and obey his voice.  For the LORD your God is a merciful God.  He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them." (vv.27-31) 

God does not change.  These same four treasures form the bedrock of our faith today.  Seek Him and enjoy His presence.
