SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:12
¶ Ahora, pues, Israel, ¿qué pide el SEÑOR tu Dios de ti, sino que temas al SEÑOR tu Dios, que andes en todos sus caminos, y que lo ames, y sirvas al SEÑOR tu Dios con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 10:12
Verse 12. Now, Israel, what doth the Lord-require of thee] An answer is immediately given. God requires, 1. That ye fear him as Jehovah your God; him who made, preserves, and governs you. 2. That ye walk in all his ways-that, having received his precepts, all of which are good and excellent, ye obey the whole; walking in God's ways, not your own, nor in the ways of the people of the land.
3. That ye love him-have confidence in him as your father and friend, have recourse to him in all your necessities, and love him in return for his love.
4. That you serve him-give him that worship which he requires, performing it with all your heart-the whole of your affections, and with all your soul-your will, understanding, and judgment. In a word, putting forth your whole strength and energy of body and soul in the sacred work.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee , etc.] For all these favours bestowed upon them, the forgiveness of their sins, and a fresh intimation of their possession of the land of Canaan, and the renewal of the promise of it made to their fathers: but to fear the Lord thy God ; to fear him with a filial fear, to fear him and his goodness, and him for his goodness sake, and particularly for his pardoning grace and mercy vouchsafed to them; (see <19D004> Psalm 130:4), to walk in all his ways ; prescribed and directed to by him, every path of duty, whether moral, ceremonial, or judicial: and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul ; for that is the best service which springs from love, and love constrains unto, and which is hearty and sincere, as that is, and is performed in the best manner such are capable of.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-22 - We are here taught our duty to God in our principles and our practices We must fear the Lord our God. We must love him, and delight i communion with him. We must walk in the ways in which he has appointe us to walk. We must serve him with all our heart and soul. What we d in his service we must do cheerfully, and with good will. We must kee his commandments. There is true honour and pleasure in obedience. We must give honour to God; and to him we must cleave, as one we love an delight in, trust in, and from whom we have great expectations. We ar here taught our duty to our neighbour. God's common gifts to mankin oblige us to honour all men. And those who have themselves been in distress, and have found mercy with God, should be ready to sho kindness to those who are in the like distress. We are here taught ou duty to ourselves. Circumcise your hearts. Cast away all corrup affections and inclinations, which hinder you from fearing and lovin God. By nature we do not love God. This is original sin, the sourc whence our wickedness proceeds; and the carnal mind is enmity agains God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be; s then they that are in the flesh cannot please God, Ro 8:5-9. Let us without delay or reserve, come and cleave to our reconciled God in Jesus Christ, that we may love, serve, and obey him acceptably, and be daily changed into his image, from glory to glory, by the Spirit of the Lord. Consider the greatness and glory of God; and his goodness an grace; these persuade us to our duty. Blessed Spirit! Oh for the purifying, persevering, and renewing influences, that being called ou of the state of strangers, such as our fathers were, we may be foun among the number of the children of God, and that our lot may be amon the saints __________________________________________________________________
