Ch 27:
God uses remembrance & reinforcement through visual memory to help the Israelites see how He expects obedience. It is to be the norm.
The Priests were to be the ones who reinforce the law of God and pronounce judgment on sinners in God's name. The law would not bring life - when they obeyed these laws, they soon disobeyed others.
Ch 28:
As Christians, we have a similar blessing for obedience - we are called God's people and are called to obey.
The curses are similar in that God will bring about disappointment, disaster and failed dreams. There will be continuous disappointment as a result of what has happened.
When we seek the Lord, we must continue to seek Him and not turn away. He calls for faithfulness in the long haul, not part time commitment.
Ch 29:
The Israelites would have had to remembered all that God had done for them & as a result been loyal to God as a result. However, their sinful hearts showed their potential for leaving Him and going their own way.
God has revealed things so that we can follow His law and our children forever. He has kept things that are only to be known by Him.
Ch 30:
The law is made to be obeyed...and when we obey, we will receive life. God's law is perfect - it is for our good. We must never forget this.
