Deuteronomy 10:12
An Exhortation to Love Both God and People
10:12 Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you except to revere him, to obey all his commandments, to love him, to serve him with all your mind and being,
Deuteronomy 30:16-20
30:16 What
I am commanding you today is to love the
Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to obey his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances. Then you will live and become numerous and the
Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are about to possess.
30:17 However, if you
turn aside and do not obey, but are lured away to worship and serve other gods,
30:18 I declare to you this very day that you will certainly
perish! You will not extend your time in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
30:19 Today I invoke heaven and earth as a witness against you that I have set life and death, blessing and curse, before you. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live!
30:20 I also call on you
to love the
Lord your God, to obey him and be loyal to him, for he gives you life and enables you to live continually
in the land the
Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
