Deuturonomy 30:20

To choose life is to:
love the Lord (Yahweh), your God (Elohim),
hear his voice (obey him),
cling to him.
He is your life, and he will let you live long in the land he promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. [Gen. 12:1–3; 15:17–20]
[Loving God and following his commandments is the only way to a good life. Moses' tone is warm but clear; see also Paul's speech to the church leaders in Ephesus, see Acts 20:26–27.]
