Reading through Deuteronomy brings you face to face with an intense tension. On the one hand, God is gracious and wants to be near his people, so he gives them instructions about how to live and flourish in relationship to him and to the world around them. On the other hand, his instructions are not suggestions about how to live but laws to which he requires absolute obedience. How do we live in the tension? Do we throw out the Law because of Jesus? Or does the Law continue to hold authority in the life of a Christian?
