Charles Spurgeon Commentary Deuteronomy 6:1

"Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it;" — Deuteronomy 6:1 (ASV)

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go to possess it:

God's commandments are to be taught, but they are also to be practiced: which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them. And it is this doing of them that is the hard part of the work. It is not easy always to teach them; a man needs the Spirit of God if he is to teach them rightly, but practice is harder than preaching. May God grant us grace, whenever we hear his Word, to do it!
