Theme: GIVING GOD THE KIND OF WORSHIP HE DESERVES

Text: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.” – Deuteronomy 6:4-6.

Comment: True and acceptable worship of the Almighty God, calls for total commitment and submission to the will of God with one’s whole heart and resources. (Deuteronomy 10:12, 13) A certain lawyer tempting Jesus Christ asked: “Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus answering said, “What is written in the law? how readest thou? And the Lawyer in response said: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.” (Luke 10:25-28) Additionally, serving God with one’s whole heart and mind requires sacrifice and self-denial which will not go unrewarded by God’s grace. – Luke 18:29, 30. See also Matthew 16:24-27.
