BE MINE #89002142015


Be Mine

As we enjoy this another Valentine season, I believe the Lord would say to us, BE MINE! Can you let that sink in a moment and think on how you can be HIS? Can you follow the Commandments”
Question: "What is the greatest commandment?"

Answer: 
Jesus was asked this very question by a Pharisee who was considered to be “an expert in the law” (Matthew 22:34–36). Jesus answered by saying, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:37–40).

Jesus gives us two commandments that summarize all the laws and commands in Scripture. The Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 deal with our relationship with God and then our relationship with other people. One naturally flows out of the other. Without a right relationship with God, our relationships with others will not be right, either. The cause of the world’s problems is that man needs to be reconciled to God. We will never love our neighbor as ourselves if we do not first love God with all our heart, mind, and soul. All of man’s best efforts toward world peace will fail as long as men are living in rebellion against God.

Once again I declare God wants us to get hold of this simple Valentine message we see on candy “BE MINE.” Will you do it? Jesus is the sweetest name I know and he loves us when we are weak and when we are strong. Have a good day.

REMEMBER

“If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
