That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Commentary on Deuteronomy 30:20

Theological / Devotional

He is thy life. Better, “that is thy life,” that is, to love God. To have one’s life inspired and directed by the love of God is to inherit eternal life. The possibilities of life for every man are ultimately reduced to two. One is to love God with all one’s powers. The end result is life in all its fullness, ultimately merging into immortality. The alternative is a disregard of God’s good pleasure, with one’s life devoted to the things of this earth. A life spent persistently in such a way leads to eternal death. These alternatives challenge every man and woman born into the world. Here ends Moses’ fourth oration.
