God will bless obedience and punish disobedience.

• God’s Presence – God promises to bless the people if they will obey the covenant.  One of his greatest blessings is that he will dwell with them (26:11).  One of God’s greatest blessings to us is that he dwells with us by his Spirit.
• Punishment – God will punish the people if they forsake the covenant.  God takes disobedience seriously.  Unfaithfulness to God is a serious affair.  In a world that scoffs at sin, let us be careful to obey God faithfully.
