Why Should We Obey God?

Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them; that it may go
well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the LORD, the God
of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and
honey.


And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, that
it may go well with you, and that you may go in and take possession of
the good land which the LORD swore to give to your fathers by
thrusting out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has
promised.


Deut. 6:3,18,19 RSV
