What's Love got to do with it(Deuteronomy 6-15)?

 

Remember what the Lord did. He is no “tame lion.” The fear of the Lord brings love for Him. Love creates obedience and faith so that we seek to follow His word in fear, love and faith. A husband does not look at pornography both out of love and fear of his wife, so we should love the Lord completely to not desire pork of other sins remembering our past failures and that the Lord redeemed us. The declaration that all Jewish thought is based on is , Listen and obey Israel , the Tetregrammaton is your god, the Tetregrammaton is united, and you shall love the Tetregrammaton with all your mind with all your soul and all your passion.”

When the Almighty gives you victory over a sin, you must completely root it out of your life. Likewise, a believer should not marry an unbeliever. What we have is not our own abilities, but El Shaddi gives us. To put anything above the Holy One is to desire destruction. Israel walk though the wilderness showing the reality of a community of faith, fully relying on the Lord as Deuteronomy 8:3 states this:

“He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.”NASU

Divine righteousness currently holds back the “Wrath of God,” but pity one day will release it. We must drink the object of our sin until we hate it. Jesus payed for our sin. If we accept Him we will want to follow His words as Deut 10:16 says, “So circumcise your heart, and stiffen your neck no longer.”NASU the Holy One pardonned us so that we may follow the Instruction with renewed desire. Our renewed Love should also result in social justice and giving to the poor.

When our descendant see our history of faith, hopefully they will see those whose chose faith when there was no hope. In faith, we are the generation that left Egypt with Moses. We are the people who walked, though they see on dry ground. If we will obey His word, we will give a righteous heritage. I you obey the Lord, He will bless you, but if not , he will curse.

If one speaks against the Word, do not listen. The emotional cannot replace what has been laid down. Pagans see equally our testimony in keeping kosher.  We must stop consuming that which is an abomination. The Lord gave us slavery to take the poor as family and gave us abundance to give to those outside of our family.

If we walk in faith, our giving should reflect the anticipation of the victories and blessings that El Shaddi will give and not our current status. Reverend John Schultz wrote in his book commentary to the Book of  Deuteronomy, “Victory, although as yet unseen, is assured because it is the Lord’s victory.” In giving we, by faith, are the generation that the Lord delivered from the house of bondage. In giving to the Lord, one most always to give to the poor and the immigrant.

All men run the gantlet of divine blessings and curses. Those who place anything above the Holy One or even seek to define Him choose their own destruction. Sex outside of a covenant destroys everyone involved. Society falls as innocent suffer by those drunk with bribes. Chaos comes when people lose a respect for scripture. Those who love the Lord studying “Torah for Torah’s sake” find blessing.  

Blessings and curses personally and nation are based of one seeking to follow scripture. Israel was dispersed to the entire world out of idolatry and irrational hatred. But the Lord is faithful to His alliance and has created the new state of Israel. Originally, The Holy One did not give to the Jews as a gift, but the Canaanites were so wicked.

 Give to the poor. Return to the Lord.
