Obedience as a Response
Commentators explain that the call to obey is not a cold demand but a response to God's past faithfulness. Moses grounds this command in God's provision and protection in the wilderness. For Christians, this principle holds true: our obedience is not a way to earn salvation, but a grateful response to the grace we have already received in Jesus Christ.
