The love of God that maintains for a thousand generations, is a faithfulness (cf. Ex 34:6–7). This truth constitutes the key to understanding each God’s action throughout the biblical History of Salvation, with reference to both the community (of the chosen people) and individuals (e.g. Abraham). God lets recognize him by his work, by his might, power and faithfulness to his promises (cf. Deut 7:7–9). In exchange for these He expects an obedience which should be understood as voluntary acceptance of His plans and entering the love dialogue with Him. Because the biblical obedience has nothing to do with the forced submissiveness and passive surrendering oneself stronger who wields some power. The obedience means your own free decision to entrust yourself to him as well as an intention of relying on his love.References
