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

9 chapters today.

explaining the Scriptures, I’ll let them explain

themselves. I bet you see what I saw.

him,

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

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.

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,

The Greatest The Greatest CommandmentCommandment

"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.

The Greatest The Greatest CommandmentCommandment

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.

The Greatest The Greatest CommandmentCommandment

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,

Love For God & His ChildrenLove For God & His Children

because the one who does not love his fellow

Christian whom he has seen cannot love God

whom he has not seen.

Love For God & His ChildrenLove For God & His Children

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.

Love For God & His ChildrenLove For God & His Children

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

commandments. And his commandments do not

weigh us down,

Love For God & His ChildrenLove For God & His Children

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?

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

one another, just as he gave us the commandment.

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.

these are the sum of God’s commandments.
