PARASHAH 53

Ha’azinu | What Does It Actually Mean to Love God?

Duration: 33:03

Overview

Ha’azinu (הַאֲזִינוּ) in Hebrew which means “Listen!” “Hear This”

Moses asked Israel a piercing question — “is this how you repay God?” — and Tom uses it to correct a common misunderstanding: loving God was never about warm feelings, satisfying good deeds, or showing up to sing a few songs. It’s obedience, full stop. The rest of the Song of Moses traces what happens when that obedience is abandoned — and the restoration still waiting on the other side of judgment.

Scripture references
• Deuteronomy 32 : 1 – 52
• Matthew 7 : 22–23
• Isaiah 66 : 16-24

Key Biblical Points:
• Loving YHVH Isn’t a Feeling — It’s Obedience
• “Is This How You Repay Him?”
• Heavens & Earth — Summoned As Witnesses
• Fat & Satisfied — Then Forgot God
• Restoration Awaits the Prodigal Son
