Presentation transcript:

1 Mark 12:30,31 "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

2 Matthew 22:40 "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

3 Deuteronomy 6:5 "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."

4 Leviticus 19:18 "You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."

5 What Does It Mean to Love God? To love God means to long for His fellowship, to delight in Him, to appreciate all His attributes - His justice, love, patience, mercy, power and plans; and to show zeal for His honor. It is an unlimited, constant readiness to obey anything He says and to imitate His character.

6 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

7 What Does It Mean to Love God? To love God completely means to love what He loves, to love what is His, especially to love the man God made in His own image.

8 1 John 1 John 4:20 If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

9 What Does It Mean to Love God? To love God completely means to love what He loves, to love what is His, especially to love the man God made in His own image. To love God truly means to fear Him above all else, trust Him no matter what, esteem Him for all that He does, adore Him and depend upon Him.

10 A Life of Full Service to God Loving the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself.

11 The Heart - Emotional Service The Heart Must Be Pure. The Heart Is Purified by Obedient Faith. The Mouth Speaks from the Heart. True Service Comes from the Heart. Keep Your Heart with All Diligence. It Is Natural to Serve God Out of Love.

12 The Soul - Devoted Service Appealing to God for a Good Conscience. Serving God with a Pure Conscience. Living in All Good Conscience. Striving to Have a Conscience Without Offense. Avoiding a Seared Conscience.

13 MIND The seat of our intellect, reason or understanding With which we “rightly divide the word of truth.”

14 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

15 MIND The seat of our intellect, reason or understanding With which we “rightly divide the word of truth.” With which we “meditate” on the law of the Lord.

16 Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

17 MIND The seat of our intellect, reason or understanding Where we “rightly divide the word of truth.” With which we “meditate” on the law of the Lord. The “gymnasium” where our senses are exercised “to discern both good and evil.”

18 Hebrews 5:12-14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

19 Mental Service Loving God with the mind involves deep sincere beliefs held about God, not blind, unthinking devotion nor unreasoning, mystic contemplation. One’s faith, therefore, must be intelligent, based on evidence reasonably evaluated.

20 Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

21 Mental Service Loving God with the mind involves dedicating all our intellectual abilities and efforts to serve Him. In God’s Kingdom there are no prizes for intellectual shoddiness or lack of preparation.

22 Mental Service Loving God with the mind involves dedicating all our intellectual abilities and efforts to serve Him. We are to use our critical faculties to study to learn everything we can about God and His will.

23 Mental Service Loving God with the mind involves dedicating all our intellectual abilities and efforts to serve Him. This dedication of mind to God’s service is the only justifiable reason for Christian scholarship.

24 Mental Service Loving God with the mind involves dedicating all our intellectual abilities and efforts to serve Him. But where pride in one’s own intellectual accomplishments becomes supreme, one no longer uses his mind to love God.

25 Mental Service Loving God with the mind involves intelligent understanding of all we do, whether in worship or service, not mindless “religious” motion. A mind disconnected whether in prayer or praise supposedly prompted by the Spirit, is condemned by this great commandment to love God with the mind.

26 I Corinthians 14:14,15 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

27 I Corinthians 14:16-19 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified. I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all; yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

28 Mental Service Do you try to “rightly divide the word of truth”? Do you “meditate” on the law of the Lord? Do you exercise your senses “to discern both good and evil”? Do you love the Lord with all your mind?
