It is easy to love your Dad when he buys you an expensive present. It is not so easy when he wants you to do something that you find tiresome.
'Must love' is an unusual phrase, isn't it? It implies lack of choice, and so atheists tend to get the wrong idea. Who is this egocentric deity that demands our love like a petulant child? they ask. In fact it is their concept of God that is immature.
Failing to love the God who designed us and who loves us with every fibre of His being is about as good for our souls as smoking 50 a day is good for our lungs. Moses in Deuteronomy is just giving us the health warning.
