Deuteronomy 6
I had not realized that when Christ answered the question about the greatest commandment he was quoting Moses. I had thought he was summarizing the first four commandments in a way that the Pharisees could not dispute. He did not quote Moses for the second commandment which is why they questioned Him on that one.
It is more importan to spiritually and figuratively have the commandments bound upon our hands, kept as frontlets between our eyes, and written upon the posts of our houses than it was to be physically and literally obedient to that command. Even today we cannot truly be the covenant people of the Lord if we do not make the gospel our walk and our talk and have the covenants written upon the fleshy tables of our individual hearts.
