No Covenant Compromise

We continue to work through Deuteronomy in our series “Faithfulness for the Next Generation.” Moses instructs Israel that in their conquest of Canaan, they must make no compromise. Faithfulness to God means devoting these nations to complete destruction. Israel must show no mercy, give no truce, allow no marriage, make no covenant. Why? Because the LORD God has chosen Israel as his covenant people––to be holy, treasured, blessed above all peoples. Because Israel is chosen by God, they must not compromise this covenant with anyone or anything. This covenant keeping or covenant compromise will not only affect your life but the next generation, even to a thousand generations.
