Deuteronomy 11v8 "Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today so that you may have strength to go in and take over the land I am giving you" Commands are not only a set of rules. They are designed for a far greater purpose. To be obedient to God's purposes produces a spirit of further obedience, grows morals, establishes social morals, strengthens relationships and brings integrity. All of these things are applicable both personally and within a community. Strength comes from integrity. As we follow our God's commands we grow in integrity. God continually strengthens us and pushes us to continue to grow in our integrity. Jesus needs us to be strong but to rely on his strength and grow in this through following his commands.
