Follow the Lord’s Commands

16This very day the Lord your God commands you to follow all of those rules and laws. Be careful to obey them with all your heart and with all your soul.

17Today you have announced that the Lord is your God. You have said you would live exactly as he wants you to live. You have agreed to keep his rules, commands and laws. And you have said you would obey him.

18Today the Lord has announced that you are his people. He has said that you are his special treasure. He promised that you would be. He has told you to keep all of his commands. 19He has announced that he will make you famous. He’ll give you more praise and honor than all of the other nations he has made. And he has said that you will be a holy nation. The Lord your God has set you apart for himself. That’s exactly what he promised to do.

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.
