59.The Lord’s Own People

“Today the Lord your God commands you to obey all his laws; so obey them faithfully with all your heart. Today you have acknowledged the Lord as your God; you have promised to obey him, to keep all his laws, and to do all that he commands. Today the lord has accepted you as his own people, as he promised you; and he commands you to obey all his laws. He will make you greater than any other nation that he has created, and you will bring praise and honour to his name. You will be his own people as he promised.”

Deuteronomy 26: 16-19
