Moses, "Deut 6:4, 9 Israel, remember this the Lord and the Lord alone is our God. Love him with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. Never forget these commands i am giving you today. Teach them to your children. Repeat them when you are at home and when you are away. When you sit down and when you get up. Tie them on your arms and wear them on your forehead as a reminder. Write them on the doorposts of your house and of your gate."

It was important to the hebrews that they stray not away into idolatry. Instituting visual reminders helped one to stay focused on this. The Psalmist wrote " 119:11 thy word have i hidden in my heart that i might not sin against thee.

Yes it was. david spoke of this words corncerning jesus christ,it was revealed to him of the savior to come and save the nation, the light of the world.to keep God's word is to obey him but not to keep the word is to disobey him and god loves those who fear him and to disobey is to that which is contrary to the word (sin).jesus had a doctrine from the father which was to delivered to the people by him by teaching them the truth, way and life and that which he had seen from the father. when you fear god you wont sin but you'll live obeying his word because the is no oher God before him and after him he is the great I am (one God)
