Moses gives clear directions.
Deuteronomy 4:1 - Listen → Obey → God
Deuteronomy 4:9 - Be careful → Watch Out! → Don't forget → Teach
You've heard directly from God. You've seen with your own eyes what He has done. Be careful, don't forget God's laws. Don't put your faith in anyone or anything other than God. Remain faithful, teach your children and grandchildren. If you make mistakes, if you turn away from God, STOP! and look for God, you will find Him if you look for Him and if you look for Him with all your heart.(Deuteronomy 4:29 and Jeremiah 29:11-13) God is merciful. He has done all these things so you would understand "there is no other God." (Verse 35)
Deuteronomy 4:39–40 - Know → Believe → Obey
Believe me! Believe what I say. I have shown myself to you. Believe me! Obey me! Obey me so things will go well with you AND your children. Then you will live—truly live. A life without fear; a life without regret; a life of peace and assurance. I have done my part. Are you going to believe? Are you going to be faithful? Are you going to obey? Are you going to remember? Will you teach those who come after you? Do you know? Do you know that—"I AM"? That I AM THE LORD? Will you serve only me? Will you believe?

My Dear Child,
Believe me! Believe what I say. I have shown myself to you. Believe me! Obey me! Obey me so things will go well with you AND your children. Then you will live—truly live. A life without fear; a life without regret; a life of peace and assurance. I have done my part. Are you going to believe? Are you going to be faithful? Are you going to obey? Are you going to remember? Will you teach those who come after you? Do you know? Do you know that—"I AM"? That I AM THE LORD? Will you serve only me? Will you believe?
Your Loving Father,
GOD
We choose to believe. As for me and my house, we WILL serve THE LORD.
