God is about to bring the Israelites into their land - they will displace big nations. God will fight for them, and win. They don't get the land because they are good, but because the other nations are evil. They are not to forget this. They are also to remember how angry them made God when they made a golden calf (while Moses was on the mountain). God was so angry He wanted to destroy them, but Moses pleaded with God for them.
key verse:
The Lord your God is giving you this good land to own. But know this: It is not because you are good. You are a stubborn people.
about God:
God doesn't want us to be delusional and think that we're actually good. God gets angry (rightly so), and will destroy in His anger.
