Deuteronomio 30:20

20 que ames al SEÑOR tu Dios, que oigas su voz, y te acerques a él; porque él es tu vida, y la longitud de tus días; a fin de que habites sobre la tierra que juró el SEÑOR a tus padres Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, que les había de dar

Deuteronomio 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.

Deuteronomio 30:20 In-Context

18 os protesto hoy que de cierto pereceréis; no tendréis largos días sobre la tierra, para ir a la cual pasas el Jordán para que la heredes

19 A los cielos y a la tierra llamo por testigos hoy contra vosotros, que os he puesto delante la vida y la muerte, la bendición y la maldición; escoge, pues, la vida, para que vivas tú y tu simiente

20 que ames al SEÑOR tu Dios, que oigas su voz, y te acerques a él; porque él es tu vida, y la longitud de tus días; a fin de que habites sobre la tierra que juró el SEÑOR a tus padres Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, que les había de dar
