Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength

Deuteronomy 6:1-25

Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 

Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.  Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land.  Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did at Massah. 

And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.

The great commandment and instructions to teach future generations. Jesus said that the whole law could be summed up in the words of verse 5. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

Why?

Obey the word of God is our righteousness for the standard of righteousness is in the word of the Lord.

For there are so many attractions and our weak, it is easy to fall into this world and forgets the commandment of the Lord. So we have to bear in mind and be aware every day, and depends on the leading of the Holy Spirit.

How?

Fear the Lord for our God is jealous God, and our God is full of love, return to our God.
