Deuteronomy 6

“And when the Lord your God brings you into the land ... take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (v10-12). God had demonstrated powerful love toward Israel by rescuing them from the “house of slavery”, so the proper response was loving obedience. Their main command was to love the Lord with heart, soul, and might (v5). Going after “other gods” would be a betrayal of divine love (v13).

“And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord ...” (v18). Because God has proven his sacrificial, rescuing love for us, we trust his Word about what is “right and good.”
