The Holy Bible in my humble understanding is from Genesis to Revelation (to include the missing books) a Love story. I feel it's all about Love and with that being said. Love is evidence of our salvation, and how do we show our Love for Yah. I want to list some verses as support. Feel free to sharpen me and add to the verses. My brother Timothy from The Maro Polo group used this as an awesome exercise in sharing Scriptures.❤
Exodus 20:6 ❤ but showing STEADFAST LOVE to thousands[a]of those WHO LOVE ME and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
Deuteronomy 6:5-6 ❤ You shall LOVE the Lord your God with all YOUR HEART and with ALL YOUR SOUL and WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT. 6 And these words that I command you today SHALL BE ON YOUR HEART.
Deuteronomy 11:1 ❤ Love and Serve the Lord “You shall therefore LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD and AND KEEP HIS CHARGE, HIS STATUTES, HIS RULES, and HIS COMMANDMENTS ALWAYS.
Joshua 22:5 ❤ Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD, and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cling to him and to serve him WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL.”
Nehemiah 1:5 ❤ Then I said: “Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments,
Daniel 9:4-5 ❤ I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules.
Matthew 22:36-40 ❤ “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.38 This is the great and first commandment.39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
John 14:2❤ Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
John 14:15 ❤ “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
John 14:23-24 ❤ Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
John 15:10❤ If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Romans 8:28❤ And we know that FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD all things work together for good,[a]for THOSE WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.
1 Corinthians 2:7-9 ❤ But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 BUT, AS IT IS WRITTEN,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM ”—
1 John 2:4-5❤ Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:
1 John 4:19 ❤ We love because he first loved us.
1 John 5:1-5 ❤❤❤ Overcoming the World Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 BY THIS We KNOW THAT WE LOVE the children of God, WHEN WE LOVE GOD AND OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. 3 FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD OVERCOMES THE WORLD. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—OUR FAITH. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD?
2 John 1: 6 ❤ And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
Wow! Amen.. Thank you for sharing all these verses on what it means to love the Lord with all our hearts, our minds, our soul and our strength. So many just like the idea of Yahusha (I hope I spelled it right..still learning). It's an acceptance in the MIND but not a conversion of the heart.
Well... maybe it's not an acceptance at all come to think. So many profess to know and serve Him but have never spent time reading the bible. This culture has warped the minds of people to believe in something they have no connection to. Thus making their proclamation on none effect.
His way is the only peace and wholeness we have in this life. His Word is clear and amazing. It is a joy to live for Him. It becomes part of our very character.
The enemy has blinded so many in this world. In a way, so many are victims. We must pray for the Lord to remove the veil and pour out His Spirit on lost souls through His great mercy and grace.
I am so glad you compiled all these verses. I needed this!
Blessings!
