The Word Brought Near in Christ
Moses says God’s command is not unreachable in heaven or beyond the sea, but near in the mouth and heart.
Deuteronomy 30:11–14
11¶ For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off.
12It [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?
13Neither [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?
14But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
