Chapter 13

Deuteronomy 13 teaches that faithfulness to God’s Word is the true test of a prophet, not signs or wonders. Even if miracles occur, anyone who leads people away from the Lord and His commands is to be rejected. God calls His people to love Him by keeping His commandments and refusing to follow other gods, no matter who urges them to do so. This chapter shows that truth is measured by alignment with God’s revealed Word and that obedience protects His people from deception.
