Deuteronomy 8:1-2 (ESV Strong's)
1 “The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers. 2 And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.
Israel was freed from the slavery of Egypt to enter the promised land. They could receive the promise by obeying the word of God.
We have been freed from the slavery of the world to receive the promised life of Christ. We will receive the inheritance of His promise by obeying the word of Christ, who is the word of God.
Our time of testing in the wilderness of the world is now. If we walk with Him and follow His lead, we will find the land of the living and eat from the tree of life.
