SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:17
Al SEŅOR has ensalzado hoy para que te sea por Dios, y para andar en sus caminos, y para guardar sus estatutos y sus mandamientos y sus derechos, y para oír su voz.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 26:17
Verse 17. Thou hast avouched the Lord] The people avouch- publicly declare, that they have taken Jehovah to be their God.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Thou hast avouched the Lord this day to be thy God , etc.] Said, affirmed, protested, and in the most solemn manner declared, that the Lord was their God, and him only; and that they would have no other God, nor worship, serve, or obey any other. The Lord is the God of all mankind, as he is the Creator and Preserver of them, and was of the people of Israel in a peculiar manner, they being chosen, redeemed, and privileged by him above all others; and especially is of his elect in Christ among all nations, whom he has loved and set apart for himself, and determined to save; whom he has adopted and regenerated; he provides for them, protects and preserves them, gives them grace here and glory hereafter: he is their God in Christ, and by virtue of the covenant of his grace made with them in him; and is known by them to be so in the effectual calling by the application of covenant blessings to them; and which is certified to them by the Spirit of God, upon which they claim their interest in him, and make profession of him as their God: and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice ; that is, this was then their resolution and determination, their protestation and declaration, to walk in all the ways of God, both in private and in public, he directed unto; and to observe all his laws, ceremonial, moral, and judicial, which he had given them as the rule of their walk and behaviour; and to regard whatsoever he should reveal by his prophets and ministers as his will; and a view of covenant interest in God lays all good men under the strongest obligation in the strength of divine grace to attend to his will; nor can there be a greater motive to them than covenant love, grace, and mercy.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-19 - Moses here enforces the precepts. They are God's laws, therefore tho shalt do them, to that end were they given thee; do them, and disput them not; do them, and draw not back; do them, not carelessly an hypocritically, but with thy heart and soul, thy whole heart and the whole soul. We forswear ourselves, and break the most sacre engagement, if, when we have taken the Lord to be our God, we do no make conscience of obeying his commands. We are elected to obedience 1Pe 1:2; chosen that we should be holy, Eph 1:4; purified a peculia people, that we might not only do good works, but be zealous in them Tit 2:14. Holiness is true honour, and the only way to everlastin honour __________________________________________________________________
