Love The Lord Your GodLove The Lord Your God

Something jumped off the pages at me in this weeks reading. We’re going to read several verses from

9 chapters today.


Instead of me or Commentaries

explaining the Scriptures, I’ll let them explain

themselves. I bet you see what I saw.


Deuteronomy 4:29 NET But if you seek the LORD your God from there, you will find him, if, indeed, you seek him with all your heart

and soul.


Deuteronomy 5:32 NET Be careful, therefore, to do exactly what the LORD

your God has commanded you; do not

turn right or left!


33 Walk just as he has commanded you so that you may live, that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land you are

going to possess.


Deuteronomy 6:4 NET Listen, Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! 5 You must love the LORD

your God with your whole mind, your whole being, and all your strength.

Teach Your ChildrenTeach Your Children

6 These words I am commanding you today

must be kept in mind, 7 and you must teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house,


as you walk along the road, as you lie down, and as you

get up. 8 You should tie them as a reminder on your forearm and fasten them as symbols on your forehead.


9 Inscribe them on the doorframes of your houses and gates.


Deuteronomy 8:18 NET You must remember the

LORD your God, for he is the one who gives

ability to get wealth;


if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, even as he has

to this day.


Deuteronomy 10:12 NET Now, Israel, what does the LORD

your God require of you except to revere him, to

obey all his commandments, to love

him,


to serve him with all your mind and being, 13 and to

keep the LORD's commandments and statutes that I am giving you today

for your own good?


14 The heavens — indeed the highest heavens —

belong to the LORD your God, as does the earth and everything in it.


Deuteronomy 11:1 NET You must love the LORD your God and do what he requires;

keep his statutes, ordinances, and

commandments at all times.


Deuteronomy 11:13 NET Now, if you pay close attention to my commandments that I am giving you today and love the LORD your God

and serve him with all your mind and being,


14 then he promises, "I will send rain for your land in its season, the autumn and

the spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine, and olive oil.

Teach Your ChildrenTeach Your ChildrenDeuteronomy 11:18 NET Fix these

words of mine into your mind and being, and tie

them as a reminder on your hands and let them be

symbols on your forehead.

Teach Your ChildrenTeach Your Children19 Teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your

house, as you walk along the way, as you lie down,

and as you get up.

Teach Your ChildrenTeach Your Children20 Inscribe them on the

doorframes of your houses and on your gates 21 so that your days and those of your

descendants may be extended


in the land which the LORD promised to give to your ancestors, like

the days of heaven itself.


22 For if you carefully observe all of these

commandments I am giving you and love the LORD

your God, live according to his standards,


and remain loyal to him, 23 then he will drive out all

these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess

nations greater and stronger than you.


Deuteronomy 13:1 NET Suppose a prophet or one who foretells by dreams

should appear among you and show you a sign

or wonder,

Love The Lord Your GodLove The Lord Your God2 and the sign or wonder

should come to pass concerning what he said to you, namely, "Let us follow other gods" — gods whom

you have not previously known — "and let us serve

them."


3 You must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer, for the LORD your God will be testing you to see if you love him

with all your mind and being.


4 You must follow the LORD your God and revere only him; and you must observe his commandments, obey

him, serve him, and remain loyal to him.


Deuteronomy 15:4 NET However, there should not be any poor among you, for the

LORD will surely bless you in the land that he is giving

you as an inheritance,


5 if you carefully obey him by keeping all these

commandments that I am giving you today. 6a For the LORD your God will bless

you just as he has promised;


Deuteronomy 19:8 NET If the LORD your God enlarges your borders as he promised

your ancestors and gives you all the land he pledged

to them,


9a,b and then you are careful to observe all these

commandments I am giving you today (namely,

to love the LORD your God and to always walk in

his ways),

The Greatest The Greatest CommandmentCommandment

Did you see what was repeated in these 9

chapters?It was non-other than

The Greatest Commandment!


Mark 12:28 NET Now one of the experts in the law came and heard them

debating. When he saw that Jesus answered them

well, he asked him,


"Which commandment is the most important of

all?" 29 Jesus answered, "The most important is: 'Listen, Israel, the Lord

our God, the Lord is one.


30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with

all your strength.'


31 The second is: 'Love your neighbor as

yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."


32 The expert in the law said to him, "That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and

there is no one else besides him.


33 And to love him with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your

strength


and to love your neighbor as yourself is more

important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."


34 When Jesus saw that he had answered

thoughtfully, he said to him, "You are not far from

the kingdom of God." Then no one dared any longer to question him.

Love For God & His ChildrenLove For God & His Children

1 John 4:19 NET We love because he loved us first. 20 If anyone says "I love God" and yet hates his

fellow Christian, he is a liar,


because the one who does not love his fellow

Christian whom he has seen cannot love God

whom he has not seen.


21 And the commandment we have from him is this:

that the one who loves God should love his

fellow Christian too.


5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been fathered by

God, and everyone who loves the father loves the

child fathered by him.


2 By this we know that we love the children of God: whenever we love God

and obey his commandments.


3 For this is the love of God: that we keep his

commandments. And his commandments do not

weigh us down,


4 because everyone who has been fathered by God conquers the world. This is the conquering power that has conquered the

world: our faith


5 Now who is the person who has conquered the

world except the one who believes that Jesus is the

Son of God?

God’s CommandmentGod’s Commandment1 John 3:23 NET Now this is his

commandment: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love

one another, just as he gave us the commandment.

God’s CommandmentGod’s Commandment24 And the person who keeps

his commandments resides in God, and God in him. Now by this we know that God resides in us: by the Spirit he has given us.

God’s CommandmentGod’s CommandmentOur faith in Jesus, God’s Son & loving each other,

these are the sum of God’s commandments.

In obedience to the sum of God’s commandments,

God’s CommandmentGod’s CommandmentHe is in us and we are in

Him. Our proof is The Spirit He has given us.
