Stiff-Necked and Stubborn

Deuteronomy 9:6

“Therefore understand that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked[a] people.”

What a powerful and sobering truth! The Lord did not bless the children of Israel because they were righteous.  They were actually a stiff-necked, stubborn people, prone to rebellion. God blessed them because He is a gracious and merciful God. 

That is why He sent Jesus to identify with our weaknesses. Jesus died for those weaknesses! When He got up from the dead it signified total victory in the lives of everyone who trusts Him.

I encourage you to walk in the awesome saving grace of a loving God.
