This week’s meditation: Psalms 119:1-16

Scripture: Deuteronomy 6: 1-15

Title: Are you loving your God with all your heart? Or only with the lips?

            God has shown himself to the nation of Israel that he had chosen.  God spoke  of  himself who is the only One. He commanded them to love the LORD their God with all their heart, and with all their soul, and with all their might, because he chose them of all the nations.

        In addition, the Lord God spoke to them and command them commandments and statutes and commands you walk in the future in the land they occupy. As well as teaching them all the words spoken to them orders to keep their children a lifelong cause them to fear God, He commanded their shares. They will be given the word of promise to thrive well in the land they occupy when performing watched all the commands of God.

       In addition, God’s warnings prompted special care to them. He spoke about what the end that connects to follow the gods of the people around them. The Lord God asked them to remember that he was going to bring forth  wrath unto them to destroy them from the face of the earth, because he  loves only then  among the nations of the earth with all his heart, soul, and strength as they will go after other gods.

        Also spoke, God once again for them:

 “And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

“(Deuteronomy 10: 12-15)

       That’s right! It is by God required of them was to keep His Word that gives life to them. God said, get what they have using free will that they receive:

 “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.….. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:“(Deuteronomy 11: 26-28); 30: 19)

       God  said unto them that  he has given them his words, and commanded them to love Him perfectly  to give them life and blessing. The only thing that the blessing of life in heaven and on earth is only  the word of the Lord God.

      The LORD God spoke them through Moses to the Israelites; finally He appeared in the flesh in the name of Jesus in front of the Israelites that was chosen by him. But they already have abandoned the word of God in the midst of the curses and death serving the nations of the Gentiles as well as  their gods.

       Their Lord and their God, Jesus said unto them, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”  (John 6:63), But they could not understand his words. He spoke unto them to give life seeing them in the midst of death and curses: :

 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.…. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.“(John 6: 47-51, 53-58)

         Jesus said unto them to give them life knowing them among death and curses because of them abandoning the words of God of life given through Moses; He was going to take all the curses in his flesh, and to shed his blood. But still they were not be ready to believe in him, their King as well as their Messiah.

        Looking forward to come as the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, he wants to give life unto them that believe on the gospel of Christ fulfilled through his death regardless they are the Jews or Gentiles. And as for the Jews that are blinded and deaf spiritually, he is looking forward to see them that shall repent to believe in him to receive life  in the days of the trouble of Jacob.

         The LORD God also spoke unto all the members of the church of God that have received life through eating his flesh, and drank his blood as he spoke unto the people of Israel in the old days:

 “ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.   And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” (Matthew 10: 37-39)

        The Lord Jesus said this after the he gave the word of command, the same who commanded the Israelites:

 “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. “(Matthew 22: 37-40)

          God, said unto us  to love God fully prior to love our neighbors first. In other words, whosoever prefer to love their neighbor in the first prior to love God is not worthy to God. God is the One that can command us to love him with all our life, for he gave up his life for the sake of the sinners like us. If any other man asks us to love him with all our heart, his word is useless to hear. But there cannot be excused to avoid the command of God for them that received through eating his flesh and drinking his blood.

        The Lord Jesus spoke against the Jews saying, they love God as they love him only with their lips:

“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me..” (Matthew 15:08)

         That’s right! There is no one that not understand of love that is to be done by the body not only with lips. How much more is the idea that you do not know the false love of God in words knowing God can see into the hearts of men.

       Therefore, a person who loves God is to be performed with joy by being obedient to His Word. Also against his will to want to say that the mouth is dry to the world. In addition, every word out of the mouth that they would exhibit to love him. The more important thing is that he has shown during  the life as a stranger with joy while looking at only his coming. Amen! Hallelujah!
