Quick answer

The renewed people will again obey the Lord and keep his commandments. Restored hearts produce restored obedience.

Overview

Following the promise of heart-circumcision, Moses foresees Israel returning to obedience, doing 'all his commandments.' The transformed heart bears the fruit of glad obedience. This shows that true obedience flows from God's renewing work, a pattern fulfilled in believers whom the Spirit enables to walk in newness of life.

Christ at the center

Moses promised a Prophet like himself to whom Israel must listen (18:15); Jesus is that Prophet, the one who keeps the covenant we broke and becomes the curse for us by hanging on a tree (Gal 3:13).
