SUNDAY MESSAGE
JOHN
8:31-32 NKJ
Last Sunday, I spoke about knowing the truth so that the truth can set you free. I challenged you (and myself) to dig into the Word of God this past week to see how we can improve our lives.
I decided that today I would speak on two scriptures that sum up our relationship with God, other people, and with “things”.
These two scriptures that sum up the whole Bible. If we get these right—our lives will be right. Not just by knowing the scripture, but by LIVING IT. HERE THEY ARE.
Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus Replied,'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all you mind. This is the first and most important commandment.' (Deu.6:5)
Matthew 22:39 And the second is like it. 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' (Lev.19:18)
MATTHEW 6:33} But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you
LOVE GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOR Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus Replied,'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all you mind. This is the first and most important commandment.' (Deu.6:5)
Matthew 22:39 And the second is like it. 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' (Lev.19:18)
IF WE LOVE GOD, WE WILL OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS.
2John 6 "The way we show our love is to obey God's commands. He commands you to lead a life of love..."
SEEK GOD AND HIS KINGDOM. This leads us right into Matthew 6.. Mat 6:24-34 KJV) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. {25} Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? {26} Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? {27} Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? {28} And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: {29} And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. {30} Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? {31} Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? {32} (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. {33} But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. {34} Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
