The Love of God

“Hear, O Israel: The Yehowah our God, the Yehowah is one.
Love the Yehowah your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 4:1–2

“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me;
anyone who loves their son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And whoever does not take up their cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
Whoever finds their life will lose it,
and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:37–39

Christ is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
We know that we have come to know Him if we keep His commandments.
Whoever says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments
is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But if anyone obeys His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him.
This is how we know that we are in Him:
whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did. 1 John 2:2–6

If one does not believe in their heart that the Yehowah our God is one Yehowha,
they cannot serve God with all their heart, soul, and strength.
The reason prophets and apostles lost their lives
while proclaiming who God is was because their God was the one and only Yehowah.

Because of His love for His children, God came in the flesh and swallowed up death.
His righteousness is love. And proclaiming His righteousness
is love for our neighbor, because it shows the way to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The one LORD God Himself came in flesh and blood and cried out loudly to us:
“I love you. I love you enough to offer My body as a sacrifice for you.
My love is a love that swallowed your sin and death in resurrection.” Hallelujah!
