Commentary
Commentary on Deuteronomy 10:12
Theological / DevotionalGod require of thee. This is similar to Micah 6:8. The word translated “require” also means “to desire,” “to request.” The name “Saul” is from the same root, and means “requested,” “desired.”
To fear. Literally, “to reverence,” “to have a pious regard for.” Here reverence is required as a basic principle in the heart of God’s child. A right attitude toward God is the foundation of true religion (see on chapter 6:2).
To walk. See on chapter 8:6. This is a daily walk with God in the power of the Holy Spirit, in pursuit of a perfect character (see Genesis 5:22). The apostle Paul states the same truth in different words (Romans 6:17, 18, 22).
To love. Where there is true love of God in the heart, a man will not weakly yield himself to temptation (see Genesis 39:9; Deuteronomy 13:4; 1 Kings 8:23, 48; John 15:10).
