Deuteronomy 22-26 Rules for life!

Ch 22:1-21  Life and property are important- you are not to take them lightly, but rather, see God's ways as crucial to be obeyed.

v13-30  Chastity is important - we are created to be holy and pure, keeping ourselves for God and to be holy for Him.

Ch 23:  Purging yourself is important - keep yourself holy before God.  Don't take sin lightly.

Ch 24:

Equity & honesty:

Be honest in marriage
Don't take advantage of others with loans etc
Don't deprive the foreigner, fatherless or widow

Ch 25:  Paul uses this passage to argue that Christian workers are worthy of wages.  We must never forget to provide for them what they deserve.

Ch 26:1-11

The law required the Israelites to give the best of what they received to God - to recognise what He had done for them and to show their dependance on Him.

The Israelites were to remember all that God had done for them - He was declaring He was their God and they His people.  But, they were to live according to Him & His ways as a result.
