The commandments and statutes of the Lord
“When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the Lord our God has commanded you?’ then you shall say to your son, ‘We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are this day. And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.’(Deuteronomy 6:20-21, 24-25 ESV)
“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord , which I am commanding you today for your good?(Deuteronomy 10:12-13 ESV)
“하나님은 당신을 깊고 근본적으로 사랑하십니다. 그가 당신을 사랑하시기 때문에 그 사랑의 관계에 있어 풍성한 것을 손해보지 않도록 삶의 지침을 주신 것입니다. 인생은 당신을 완전히 파멸시킬 수도 있고, 당신의 삶을 망쳐버릴 수도 있는 지뢰와 같은 것을 지니고 있습니다. 하나님은 당신이 주시는 최선의 것들을 하나라도 잃어버리기를 원치 않으십니다. 그리고 당신의 인생이 망쳐지는 것을 원치 않으십니다.”
* 계명 준수와 바운더리 설정은 동의어다. 바운더리가 무너지면 파수꾼의 경성함이 허사다.
