«When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations.» Deuteronomy 18:9
I imagine that God was very happy to be able to lead the people to a beautiful land, where many trees that produced delicious fruit grew. Where the little lamb and calves could run, and the children could play!
But God was worried. There were many people who did not love God and who did horrible things! They killed their little children to offer them to the gods. They also consulted sorcerers and performed magic.
God doesn’t approve any of this! He hates these things. Therefore, He told the people that they should never imitate these persons, but should tell them about the Mighty God who had brought them out of Egypt and done great miracles.
Let’s practice!
Do you have a friend who doesn’t know Jesus? Have you told them about Jesus? You can draw a nice picture and ask for help to write: “Jesus loves you” and take it to your friend.
