The Shema
The Shema refers to a couple lines from the book of Deuteronomy (6:4-5), that became a daily prayer in Ancient Israelite tradition.
It’s the equivalent of the Lord’s prayer (“Our Father in heaven…”) in Christian tradition.
There is but One God
God called Abraham to come out of the polytheism of his time
Joshua stressed this to the children of Israel in his time as well
Because of the competition for the mind of Gods people, Moses stressed the knowing and understand God and His world
THE FIRST AND GREATEST COMMANDMENT
Note WHO you should love first – God!
God Has Always Shown is Love for Us
God has never had any problem with His love.
Until we see that – we will never see what it truly means to love God.
Has God ever commanded anything that He himself was not willing to do?
2nd Great Commandment
The 2nd command is comparative “love your neighbor like..”
The 1st Commandment is not comparative
One could say, I will love the Lord like I love myself
Our love for God MUST HAVE NO COMPARISONS
At What Level Should We Love God?
Does God “need” our love?
The foremost way to express our love for God is to love your neighbor as yourself
I was hungry and you gave me.
THESE ARE NOT WORKS BUT AN EXPRESSION OF OUR LOVE OF GOD!
If I am not concerned over my neighbor’s eternal destiny then I am NOT Loving God with ALL my Heart, All my Soul, All my mind and All my Strength
We have a covenant relationship in the Church.
We are not called to bring about discipline in a nation.
How do we Love God is a Pluralistic Age
Remove distractions
God does not want competition
Isa 40-45 The other gods are powerless
