LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. –
Deutronomy 6:5
This is the greatest
commandment given to the children of Israel. It is also stated again in Matthew
by Jesus.
Jesus says,
“Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all our soul and with all your mind. This is the
first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor
as yourself.”
However, Jesus
continues and says,
“All the Law and the
Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
In other words, Jesus is
saying that it is impossible for mankind to fulfill these commandments.
Even though, it is
impossible for mankind to fulfill this commandment with “GOD ALL THINGS ARE
POSSIBLE”. Jesus dying for our righteousness, rising again, and sending his
Spirit to live inside of us makes it POSSIBLE!!
Jesus living on the
inside of us and the trials that he takes us through give us the capacity to
LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART AND WITH ALL OUR SOUL AND WITH ALL OUR
STRENGTH.
Like the Children of
Israel and Job, God brought them out to bring them in to their promise. I think
God takes us through things to increase our Faith and our Love for him.
Someone said, We cannot love someone we don’t know, so knowing Him should
be our first priority. Those who pursue God and His righteousness, who take
seriously the command to love Him above all else, are those who are consumed
with the things of God. They are eager to study God’s Word, eager to pray,
eager to obey and honor God in all things, and eager to share Jesus Christ with
others. It is through these spiritual disciplines that the love for God grows
and matures to the glory of God. – Gotquestions.0rg
