Obligation » A motive of obedience
And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised.
However, fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Just look at the great things he has done for you!
Is this how you repay the Lord, you foolish, unwise people? Is he not your father, your creator? He has made you and established you.
Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God's kindness leads you to repentance?
Today the Lord your God is commanding you to keep these statutes and ordinances, something you must do with all your heart and soul.
Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed,
Indeed, ask about the distant past, starting from the day God created humankind on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether there has ever been such a great thing as this, or even a rumor of it. Have a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the middle of fire, as you yourselves have, and lived to tell about it? Or has God ever before tried to deliver a nation from the middle of another nation, accompanied by judgments, signs, wonders, war, strength, power, and other very terrifying things like the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? read more.
You have been taught that the Lord alone is God -- there is no other besides him. From heaven he spoke to you in order to teach you, and on earth he showed you his great fire from which you also heard his words. Moreover, because he loved your ancestors, he chose their descendants who followed them and personally brought you out of Egypt with his great power to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you and brought you here this day to give you their land as your property. Today realize and carefully consider that the Lord is God in heaven above and on earth below -- there is no other! Keep his statutes and commandments that I am setting forth today so that it may go well with you and your descendants and that you may enjoy longevity in the land that the Lord your God is about to give you as a permanent possession.
