Love the LORD

In Deuteronomy 10.12-13, Moses lists what the LORD your God requires of you.  It is an exhortation with the same question as Micah 6.8 and sounds like an expansion of the First Great Commandment:

          Fear the LORD your God

          Walk in all his ways

          Love him

          Serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul

          Keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD

The blessing at the end states that the commandments and statutes are given “for your good.”  It will be a benefit to keep these laws.
