1. God's treasured possession (1-10)

God's people are holy because God chose them--not because they had any innate goodness or any human quality that made them worthy of his choosing. They were chosen by God's grace alone. They should not be proud or self-righteous. He brought them out of slavery because of his covenant with Abraham. God's holy people must not compromise with idolatry in any way.

2. Obey God's word (11-26)

If they follow God's word and obey his laws, he will keep his covenant of love which he made with Abraham and bless them in everything they do. They will prosper in every way, not because they are able, but because of God's blessing. They must not be afraid to fight godless people, even though those nations seem to be too strong. They must not covet gold and silver or take any for themselves. They must trust God's love and power and maintain God's blessing.

Application: Lord, help me to obey your word and live under your blessing.
One Word: Maintain God's blessing
