Deuteronomy 10:12 - 22 is another of my favourite scriptures. Moses asks the question, "What does the Lord your God require of you?" He then gives 5 requirements:
1. Fear God.
2. Walk in His ways.
3. Love Him.
4. Serve Him
5. Keep His commandments and statutes.
Now these are important but they are not the Gospel. The Gospel is never what we do but what God has done. We do these because God saved us. We do this because we are recipients of His grace. We don't do these because we are trying to earn favour with God. There is nothing that we can do to earn His favour.
