Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
This is a very familiar verse where God instructs us to love Him with ALL our heart, soul, and strength. Let’s look at this scripture a little closer to see what God is truly saying to us.
Q: Why would God need to place the word ALL in front of heart, soul, and strength?
Could it be because some of us don’t love God with our ALL? If everyone automatically gave their ALL to God, there would be no need for God to add the word ALL in the text. By adding the word ALL signifies that people can partially love God.
Q: How people partially Love God?
A: By not fully obeying His word. At times walking in obedience and other times disobedience.
John 14:15 states “If you love me, you will obey what I command. We can say we love God multiple times but, until we are obedient our love can never be truly shown.
In order for us to experience God’s best in our lives we have to give Him our ALL. God has already given us His all with His Son Jesus. Our desire should be to match His ALL (Jesus) with our ALL (obedience)
Be obedient in ALL things because partial obedience = disobedience.
Be Obedient!
