Forgetting to remember

Deuteronomy 4:23-31

1. What does God remember and what do we forget?

Be careful not to forget the covenant of the LORD your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the LORD your God has forbidden. For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.

God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath.

Hebrews 4:1-11

2. What are the lessons of the Israelites' wilderness journey?

We should have faith upon knowing the gospel of Christ and thus we can then find rest in God.

However, it still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience.
