30:16 In that I command thee this day {m} to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest {n} live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
(m) So that to love and obey God, is only life and happiness.
(n) He adds these promises to signify that it is for our profit that we love him, and not for his.
30:15-20 What could be said more moving, and more likely to make deep and lasting impressions? Every man wishes to obtain life and good, and to escape death and evil; he desires happiness, and dreads misery. So great is the compassion of the Lord, that he has favoured men, by his word, with such a knowledge of good and evil as will make them for ever happy, if it be not their own fault. Let us hear the sum of the whole matter. If they and theirs would love God, and serve him, they should live and be happy. If they or theirs should turn from God, desert his service, and worship other gods, that would certainly be their ruin. There never was, since the fall of man, more than one way to heaven; which is marked out in both Testaments, though not with equal clearness. Moses meant that same way of acceptance, which Paul more plainly described; and Paul's words mean the same obedience, on which Moses more fully treated. In both Testaments the good and right way is brought near, and plainly revealed to us.
