Leviticus 26:12
And I will walk among you, and will be your G-d, and ye shall be my people.
II Corinthians 6:16-18
And what agreement hath the temple of G-d with idols? for ye are the temple of the living G-d; as G-d hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith YHWH, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith YHWH Shaddai.
The New Testament passage explains the Old Testament passage perfectly. We do not earn salvation, but strict observance of G-d's law. Salvation is a gift of mercy and grace through G-d's choice in Messiah. Obedience to G-d's Law is simply the way G-d's people show their love to Him.
