Considering the variation of ourselves that could have happened if we were not pulled out of the world, we are to reflect on how negative our life could have been. Let us remain steadfast in God's commandments with gratitude for Christ's sacrifice. We see from Deuteronomy the depth of His love that He had for His rescued people from the slavery of Egypt, while expecting from them the diligent keeping of his commandments. Of course, Christ has that same intense love for spiritual Israel too. His sacrifice has saved us from our rotten natures. We are to take the same message of how love is expressed both directions in that relationship. While our love cannot equal the depths of God's love, we can return an intense form by keeping those commandments. We see it is considered an act of hate to treat His laws carelessly. God saved us from our life of sin, and we accepted the rescue; it is time to show gratitude and give an offering along with following the other statutes.
