One And Only
 
Exodus 20:1-3, Matthew 22:36-38.
 
 
 
 
Like Marriage.  Love is the essential element.  Exclusive love.
 
Intense.  All your heart.  All your soul.  God commands it.
 

 

 
 
Building a NATION
 
     "That your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you" (Exodus 20:12).  Choose Life--Deuteronomy 30:19.

 

 
 
Building FAMILIES
 
     Teach the Law to your children--Deuteronomy 6:7
 
     Teach the Law to God's children--Matthew 28:18-20.
 

 

 
Calling INDIVIDUALS
 
     2nd person singular pronoun--YOU.
 
     "Here am I, send me" (Isaiah 6:8).
 
 
 
The gods of other nations are not REAL.
 
Exclusive love.  Intense love. 
 
Kingdom can never be casual.
 

 

 
--Truth About God
 
     "No man can have anything unless God gives it to him" (John 3:27).
 
     "Looking for love in all the wrong places" (Johnny Lee).
 

 

 
--Truth About Us
 
     "You cannot love God and Mammon" (Matthew 6:24).
 
     Prone to trivial things.  "Prone to wander, Lord I fear it"
 
 
     "Therefore, I tell you do not worry (merimnao--to divide) about your life"(Matthew 6:25).
 
 
     "Do not be afraid any longer, only believe"(Mark 5:35).   monon--adverb, describes the kind of love that Jesus is requiring.

THE GREAT FOUNDATION OF YOUR LIFE.  Solid Rock.  Cornerstone.
 
 
     "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried" (G. K. Chesterton).
 
 
     NO ONE keeps this commandment.  Apart from Christ, NO ONE.  
 
 
     But we SHOULD.  And (In Christ) we CAN.
