The greatest declaration of faith was given to Moses in Deut
6:4-5 saying “Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” (ASV) Divine Laws
must rest in our hearts so that in blessings and hardship one honors the Holy. Only
a heart that is cut to Him can obey His Laws. Hashem has the right to impose
His Law because it is He who blessed for it is not out greatness but His. It is
not one’s power but by His grace that one is great. It is not one’s power but
by His grace that one is great. Success is lost in sin.
Sinning is exaggerated when one seeks to drive
other down into it. All who lead others astray are bound in their punishment
for such are a cause of breaking the Holy Law. Jesus said in Matthew 18:6-7, “But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe
in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around
his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world
because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe
to the man through whom they come!” (NIV) Anything that
lacks complete faith is sin. Likewise one should do all that is within one’s
power to not let others pervert.
