Deuteronomy 30:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 30:14

But the word [is] very nigh unto thee
In the ministration of it by those who clearly, plainly, and faithfully preach it, and in the application of it by the Spirit of God to the heart; and in the gracious experience converted persons have of the power and efficacy of it in them, and of the comfort they receive from it:

in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it;
in the mouth by confession, being not ashamed to own it, and profess it before men; and in the heart, where it is come with power, has a place, and works effectually, and is cordially believed, and comfortably experienced; and when this is the case, its ordinances will be faithfully kept as delivered, and cheerfully submitted to.

Deuteronomy 30:14 In-Context

12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, `Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it unto us, that we may hear it and do it?'

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, `Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it unto us, that we may hear it and do it?'

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

15 "See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil,

16 in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply; and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
