The objective that God wants us to have is to pass on the belief and commitment to the commandments, and to pass on the love of God to our children and the children of our children.
In verse 5, it says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." This is the first step, and it means that we should have experienced the love of God first.
Our hearts are like a good ground where the seeds of God's word can be planted. We need to be in the right environment to grow in our faith, and to nourish each other through Bible study and community.
God wants us to impress His word on our children, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. We need to talk about God's love and commandments when we sit at home, when we walk along the road, when we lie down, and when we get up.
In verse 8-9, it says, "Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." This means that we need to be mindful of the information that surrounds us and prioritize God's word.
