DEUT 6/ MARK 12 that it may be well with thee!!!

I think we should seriously consider these 4 scriptures closely this morning.

Notice in Mark 12: 28, that it was one of the SCRIBE'S that came to JESUS and asked

“WHAT IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT OF ALL?”

ANSWER: TO LOVE GOD with all your heart, mind and soul

What is a “SCRIBE:

“in the Bible, a man learned in the Mosaic law and in the sacred writings, an interpreter, teacher. Scribes examined the more difficult and subtle questions of the law;” 

Obviously a “SCRIBE” is a very Learned and Studied man of scripture. Surely he knew of Deut 6.

JESUS CHRIST RESPONDED to the Scribe…. THE COMMANDS can be “SUMMED UP” with

LOVE THE LORD GOD with all your HEART, MIND and SOUL, Which obviously came DIRECTLY out of DEUT 6.

So I think we can be fairly comfortable with the “DESCRIPTION of the BEHAVIORISM and ACTIONS” in DEUT 6: 5-18, by the ONE that  PROFESS’S TO TRULY LOVE GOD can be said to be accurate.


LOVE simply has a higher STANDARD attached to it, than LAW!!!

UNLESS of COURSE you no longer believe “GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD”.

Maybe I should take a moment and DEFINE my understanding of :

"GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD"

HE is jealous/particular/Partial to HIS OWN WAYS, HIS CHARACTER, HIS BEHAVIORISM. etc.


IT is for this purpose that we  are REBORN and are being "CONFORMED and TRANSFORMED into the IMAGE OF CHRIST.

Sorry folks you can't have the CAKE/BREAD and just eat the icing off the top!!!!

PSALMS 4: 2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? Selah

PSALMS 4: 3  But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

DEUT 6: 5  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

MARK 12: 28  And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him,

“ Which is the first commandment of all?”

MARK 12: 30  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment.

DEUT 6: 15  (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

DEUT 6: 5  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

DEUT 6: 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart

DEUT 6: 7

DEUT 6: 17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

DEUT 6: 18 And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

CONCLUSION:

OH how often we put the SECOND COMMAND before the FIRST COMMAND to LOVE the LORD with all our heart, mind and soul.


We are truly MISGUIDED. What truly could be more important that HIS HOLINESS, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, HIS MERCY, HIS GRACE???

OUR ACTIONS, hands, feet, and mouth are a RESPONSE to what our HEART believes to be TRUTH.

OUR GOD is still a "JEALOUS GOD".  

Have you truly considered HIS JEALOUS?

HE is JEALOUS of HIS OWN HOLINESS, CHARACTER and ACTIONS.

HE is GOD, the CREATOR, HE doesn't HAVE to be any other way. Are you and I a TRULY WITNESS of HIS CHARACTER?

It has only been through HIS MERCY and GRACE that we have walked in ANY GOODNESS or PLEASURE in this LIFE.

THOUGH you will NEVER be able to pay the COST OF YOUR SALVATION. 

JESUS CHRIST was the TRUE "KINSMEN REDEEMER"  the ONE that STOOD in OUR PLACE.

HE WILL BE REVERENCED!!!

THE LORD WILL BE HONORED and REVEREND because HE IS a JEALOUS GOD, and SHALL NOT be MOCKED.

Amen and Amen.

Are you Mocking HIS CHARACTER, by your behavior?
Are you putting the 2nd command above the first?
Are you teaching them the TRUTH?
Are you teaching them to chase the dragon rather than PURSUING the LORD with all their MIGHT?


STOP LIEING to the PEOPLE, with your CHEAP GRACE, for the LIARS and WHOREMONGERS will "NOT RECEIVE GRACE AND MERCY" they will go to the "LAKE OF FIRE".  

TEACH THEM to LEARN OF HIM, to ABIDE IN HIM. TO seek to HEAR HIS VOICE, to be OBEDIENT to HIS COMMANDS. TO pursue HIM WITH ALL THEIR HEART MIND AND SOUL 

Those that DO NOT these things will be the LEAST among us.

For HIS CHARACTER IS HOLY, and HE IS A "JEALOUS GOD".

HE IS JEALOUS Of HIS OWN HOLINESS and JEALOUS for those that LOVE HIM and OBEY HIM.

REV 21: 8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, andmurderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death
