iii .. 8~10 .. Don't Forget

iv .. Those to come

i .. V4 .. Statement

       “Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is one”
One is meaning, one unit, united. Or, as in the old Jewish tongue, one comes from the word [Echad] ..

• God the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. Yet He still remains ‘The true Living God’.
• We are taught, that we are to .. V5 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength”

   As statements go V4 & 5 leaves you no doubt as to what it means to be a Christian and to Worshipping Him. As a statement it is clear as to what it means. To start with in V5 “You shall” not a ‘may be’, or ‘when you feel like it’, or even ‘I guess so’

   A statement is a way of saying ‘this is my declaration’ .. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” … here we are being told once clean, stay clean, ready for His second coming. Then in V27 .. “I charge you by the Lord “ .. how positive and strong a statement this is, by Jesus showing us that in ...

Deuteronomy 6:15 "(for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth"

...that He lets us know, how much He rates this statement, that He reckons it’s the best in the Bible .. V5 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” 

   I to love this verse, because No body can say that they don’t know what God expects & wants. NO grey fuzzy areas, for miss interpretation, NO second guessing, if you don’t understand or take um-bridge over this then I suggest you hit your reset button, then start being a Christian from the beginning, as this is as simple as it gets.

There are so many versions of statements .. like Wedding vows .. Presidents opening intentions .. even from Murderers ‘I’m gona kill you’ .. there are obviously good statements as well as miss-leading ones.

Prayer

   I pray that as go through this study that god speaks through me, using me as a conduit for His holy spirit speaks yo you, enlightening, enriching your spirit, showing you new things for you to get to know Him deeper ~closer than you have ever done before.
