Deuteronomy 6
1.The end of the law is obedience
3.An exhortation thereto
20.What they are to teach their children














For the LORD your God, who is among you,
This phrase emphasizes the immanence of God, highlighting His presence among the Israelites. In the context of Deuteronomy, Moses is reminding the Israelites of God's constant presence as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. This presence is a continuation of the divine guidance they experienced during the Exodus and their journey through the wilderness. Theologically, this underscores the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God dwells among them, as seen in the tabernacle (Exodus 25:8). This presence is a precursor to the New Testament revelation of God dwelling among humanity through Jesus Christ (John 1:14).

is a jealous God.
The term "jealous" here refers to God's zealous protection of His covenant relationship with Israel. It is not jealousy in the human sense of envy but rather a divine attribute that demands exclusive worship and loyalty. This reflects the first commandment (Exodus 20:3) and underscores the seriousness of idolatry. The cultural context of the ancient Near East was rife with polytheism, and this declaration sets Yahweh apart as the one true God who requires undivided devotion. This jealousy is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are called to fidelity in their relationship with God (James 4:4-5).

Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you,
This phrase warns of the consequences of disobedience and idolatry. The "anger of the LORD" is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, often resulting in divine judgment. This anger is not capricious but is a response to covenant unfaithfulness. Historical instances, such as the Babylonian exile, illustrate the fulfillment of such warnings when Israel turned to other gods. Theologically, this reflects God's holiness and justice, which cannot tolerate sin. In the New Testament, the concept of divine wrath is fulfilled in Christ, who bears the penalty for sin (Romans 5:9).

and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.
This severe warning underscores the seriousness of covenant unfaithfulness. The phrase "wipe you off the face of the earth" is a hyperbolic expression indicating total destruction, similar to the fate of the Canaanite nations that Israel was to dispossess (Deuteronomy 7:1-2). This reflects the Deuteronomic theme of blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience (Deuteronomy 28). Historically, this was realized in events like the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. In a broader biblical context, it points to the ultimate judgment and separation from God for those who reject Him, contrasted with the eternal life promised through Jesus Christ (John 3:36).

The Danger of Idolatry
Idolatry is not just the worship of physical idols but can include anything that takes the place of God in our hearts. We must be vigilant in identifying and removing idols in our lives.

The Consequences of Disobedience
The warning of being "wiped off the face of the earth" underscores the severe consequences of turning away from God. This serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of obedience.

The Presence of God
The phrase "in your midst" highlights God's intimate presence with His people. This should encourage us to live in a way that honors His presence in our lives.

What Does Deuteronomy 6:15 Mean
For the LORD your God, who is among you

- Moses reminds Israel that their God travels with them, sets up camp in the midst of their tents, and involves Himself in every detail of their national life (Exodus 29:45-46;Leviticus 26:11-12;Deuteronomy 7:21).

- His nearness means blessings when they obey, but it also means they cannot hide rebellion; His holy presence heightens both comfort and accountability (Psalm 139:7-12;Hebrews 4:13).

is a jealous God

- Divine jealousy is His righteous insistence on exclusive covenant loyalty, not petty insecurity (Exodus 20:5;Joshua 24:19;Nahum 1:2).

- Just as a faithful husband guards the intimacy of marriage, God protects the worship relationship He has established with His people (2 Corinthians 11:2;James 4:4-5).

- Idolatry or spiritual compromise provokes Him because it robs Him of the honor that is rightly His and ultimately destroys the people He loves (Deuteronomy 32:16-21;Hosea 2:13).

Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you

- “Anger” here is not uncontrolled rage but the settled, just response of a holy God to covenant violation (Deuteronomy 4:24-26; 31:16-17).

- Israel has already witnessed this holy anger in the golden-calf incident (Exodus 32:9-10) and in the fiery serpents (Numbers 21:5-6).

- The warning stands as a deterrent: heartfelt obedience brings life; stubborn idolatry triggers God’s burning displeasure (Psalm 78:58-59;Romans 1:18).

and He will wipe you off the face of the earth

- The ultimate sanction for persistent rebellion is national removal—exile, scattering, even extinction as a people in the land (Deuteronomy 28:63-64; 29:27-28).

- History records this sobering fulfillment in the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities (2 Kings 17:18-23; 24:20).

- Yet even this severe discipline held out the possibility of future restoration for a repentant remnant (Deuteronomy 30:1-3;Luke 15:20).

summary

God dwells among His people, demands exclusive devotion, reacts with just anger when that devotion is betrayed, and stands ready to remove every earthly security if necessary.Deuteronomy 6:15 therefore calls believers to wholehearted, single-minded worship, recognizing that the God who lovingly walks with us also guards His honor and our good with equal intensity.

(15)From off the face of the earth.--Literally,of the ground.Absolute extermination is threatened by the fire of His jealousy.
