Deuteronômio 6

Deuteronômio 6

MacArthur - A true and personal relationship with God that would be manifest in the lives of the people of God. There was no place for legalism or concern about the external since the compelling motive for this righteousness was to be love for God (v. 5). (MacArthur Study Bible) ESB Study Bible - This need not mean “righteousness as merited legal status,” which would clash with God’s gracious initiative (Dt 6:20-24; cf. 7:6-8). In context, the words mean “righteousness as the right response of obedience to God’s covenant.” Kline - This verse does not present a works principle of salvation. The stress falls on the function of law as disclosing the standard of conduct which is righteous in God's sight, a love for which is prerequisite to beatitude but not the meritorious ground of such a state.
