Deuteronômio 30:20

20 amando ao Senhor teu Deus, obedecendo � sua voz, e te apegando a ele; pois ele é a tua vida, e o prolongamento dos teus dias; e para que habites na terra que o Senhor prometeu com juramento a teus pais, a Abraão, a Isaque e a Jacó, que lhes havia de dar.

Deuteronômio 30:20 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 30:20

That thou mayest love the Lord thy God
And show it by keeping his commands:

[and] that thou mayest obey his voice;
in his word, and by his prophets:

and that thou mayest cleave unto him;
and to his worship, and not follow after and serve other gods:

for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days;
the God of their lives, and the Father of their mercies; the giver of long life, and all the blessings of it; and which he had promised to those that were obedient, to him, and which they might expect:

that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy
fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them;
the land of Canaan, often thus described; this was the grand promise made to obedience to the law, and was typical of eternal life and happiness; which is had, not through man's obedience to the law, but through the obedience and righteousness of Christ.

Deuteronômio 30:20 In-Context

18 declaro-te hoje que certamente perecerás; não prolongarás os dias na terra para entrar na qual estás passando o Jordão, a fim de a possuíres.
19 O céu e a terra tomo hoje por testemunhas contra ti de que te pus diante de ti a vida e a morte, a bênção e a maldição; escolhe, pois, a vida, para que vivas, tu e a tua descendência,
20 amando ao Senhor teu Deus, obedecendo � sua voz, e te apegando a ele; pois ele é a tua vida, e o prolongamento dos teus dias; e para que habites na terra que o Senhor prometeu com juramento a teus pais, a Abraão, a Isaque e a Jacó, que lhes havia de dar.
