'THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT is this: The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. You must love the Lord your God with all heart, all your soul,
all your mind, and all your strength."
Today we have a slogan that tells us to "keep the first things first". The question is do we all actually do that? Do you know what the most important commandment of God is in your life?
Do you love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all of your strength? The One Truth Today is to point out THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT!
The answer is clear and unambiguous. We must first recognize that Jesus Christ is the Lord God, and the only True God. There are no other gods that are real! Make sure you worship the One and only Lord. The Sun, Moon and Stars are not god. Any idol fashioned by man is not God! No human being can be God. No animal created by the Lord can be God! Jesus Christ, the Lord God is the one and only Lord!
When we keep the first thing first, we will also be keeping THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT! It should and will follow that you will Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind and body. We will dedicate our lives to Jesus Christ and our world will revolve around Him. Our minds and faculties of understanding will be dedicated to learning more about the One and Only True God. We will come to the knowledge that our lives are "all about Him" and not about us. The reason that this is the most important commandment is that if you fail the first test then the rest of the commandments are never going to follow. Are you keeping the "first thing first"?
The beginning of wisdom is the Fear, Knowledge and Love of God. Without knowing and fearing the Lord and His power over your life, you have no wisdom and in fact could be considered a fool. Without taking the first step you are incapable of moving forward. You will never achieve wisdom and you will die in your ignorance. That is why the first commandment of God is THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT! If you never come to an understanding that Jesus Christ is the Lord God and the One and Only True God then He can never give you the gift of eternal life. When you come to a knowledge of the Truth then you will Love the Lord with your whole heart, you will surrender your soul to Him. You will serve the Lord with your entire mind and all of your strength. You will be keeping "the first thing first"!
