In Deuteronomy 7, God commands Israel to devote the nations of Canaan to complete destruction as they enter the Promised Land, raising difficult questions about divine justice, mercy, and holiness. This sermon examines the religious and moral reasons for God’s judgment upon idolatry, sexual perversion, child sacrifice, and occult practices, while contrasting it with his sovereign choice of Israel—not because of any merit in them, but because of His unconditional love, faithfulness to his promises, and redeeming grace. Far from embarrassment or apology, this passage vindicates God’s holiness and calls his people to view the world through His eyes, respond with faithful obedience, and marvel at the mercy shown to sinners in Christ, who redeems us from the judgment we all deserve.
