Dt. 6:1-13, Love the Lord and His Words

Dt. 6:1-13, Love the Lord and His Words
                                 
1-13,
1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.
3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.
7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you -- a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build,
11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant -- then when you eat and are satisfied,
12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
13 Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.

  The Lord God loves us the most. Tell us to love the Lord and love the word. This is the most blessed way of life.
 
1. Love Only Jehovah God (4-5).  One of the most important words.

  4 Hear Israel, Jehovah our God is the only Jehovah, 5 You love jehovah your God with all your heart, your will, and your strength.    Luke 10:27
  *Kim Ji-chul, "Choose You"  Today, Beware of Polytheism and Religion pluralism,    Jn. 14:6, Only one way
  *Mrs. Danbi Shin's Testimony, “How to Come - John 14:6, through Jesus, How to Get - John 3:16,17, By believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior.”

2. Love Jehovah's Law (1-3) 

  Life is up to God (Proverbs 16:9). Verse 2, The purpose of God's giving of the law is to reverence God and keep the command.
Verse 3, Those who obey the Word are blessed. Greatly thriving. Longevity (2-3). Abundant blessings (verses 10-11, land and cities, houses and wells, vineyards and olive trees).
