Duty of Man to God

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

…and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?

You shall therefore love the LORD your God and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments.

See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, as well as death and disaster. …

But be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Therefore watch yourselves carefully, that you love the LORD your God.

Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.

My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes delight in my ways.

So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

“Truly I tell you,” He said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others.

For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

You are My friends if you do what I command you.

But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

…keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.
