‏ Deuteronomy 6:1

Deuteronomy 6:1 – Summary of Religion

In this passage, Moses explains that he is teaching the people only what God has commanded him. The purpose of this teaching is so that the Israelites will know how to obey God as they enter the Promised Land. Moses wants them to be prepared for the blessings and challenges ahead. He reminds them that true religion is not just about learning, but about doing what God says. He also stresses the importance of passing faith down to future generations and explains that fearing God leads to blessing and prosperity for families and nations.

v. 1: Moses teaches the people all the laws and rules that God gave him. He does not add or take away from God’s commands. This is an example for leaders and teachers today—they should teach only what God has given, no more and no less (Deuteronomy 6:1; Matthew 28:20 a).
