Luke 10; Verses 25-29; Truly Doing the First Two Commandments







(Luke 10:25-29) "And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?


26He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?


In other words, how do you interpret it? I want to make a big point here. If some were asked this question today the self-justification would come even before this man. How? Not willing to give any answer. You see many read the stories, but don't know the meaning. Therefore, the application. Many say I want to raise my discernment. To stuck up to even have God question them. Seen through His Word of course.


27And he answering 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.


(Never read over God's order; Heart where it begins. Open heart saying I'm a teachable, "like a little child." Soul has to be next = simply one's self. Strength as in force here, digging deep from the prior two: heart and soul. The mind, and what follows always of course works. Naturally, as a result, the second commandment).


Obviously, any other way is to be in idolatry. As the Bible makes it simple. Comparative religion here: You either love the LORD or HIS creation/flesh above Him. No in between.


28And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.


29But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour"?


Very important here:


How was He justifying himself? You see many say, "God, God, Jesus, Jesus", creating their own God in their mind, never opening the heart doing the second commandment because the first is in vain.
Just as this man, Had He truly loved the Lord He would of done the last 5 commandments towards people wrapped in one here (break one, break them all, this is why). Of course, to even simplify more we follow the first commandment we will keep the rest, by not being in idolatry, the things of the world/flesh first over the Lord. Which Christ' commandments beginning in chapter 5 always came from the heart first, the motives.


Easy peasy lemon squeezie.


Amen ,♥
