Obey the Lord’s Commands

16Today the Lord your God commands you to obey all these rules and laws; be careful to obey them with your whole being. 17Today you have said that the Lord is your God, and you have promised to do what he wants you to do—to keep his rules, commands, and laws. You have said you will obey him. 18And today the Lord has said that you are his very own people, as he has promised you. But you must obey his commands. 19He will make you greater than all the other nations he made. He will give you praise, fame, and honor, and you will be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he has said.

The Lord has declared today that you are his people, his own special treasure, just as he promised, and that you must obey all his commands.
