The First Commandment<br />
your own lusts! One key to this situation is how you use your<br />
time. For your time is your life! The Bible commands us to be<br />
“redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16).<br />
How much time do you actually spend each week studying and<br />
meditating on God’s Word and law as David did? How much time<br />
do you spend in earnest, prevailing prayer to Almighty God? How<br />
much time do you spend in discussing the Bible with others, teaching<br />
it to your family, writing words of spiritual edification to others<br />
as well as words of purely social interest?<br />
Most professing Christians think of their religion as just occupying<br />
a corner of their lives. But in all fairness and love, we say<br />
that the day will come when they will realize that that type of religion<br />
is false religion and false worship! What is the most important<br />
thing God commands you to do? When Jesus Christ your<br />
Savior was asked this question, He answered: “‘You shall love the<br />
LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all<br />
your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second<br />
is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these<br />
two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew<br />
22:37–40).<br />
The destiny of all nations and individuals rests on these two<br />
commandments! If men will obey these two commandments as<br />
they are magnified throughout the Bible, they will be blessed! If<br />
not, they will be cursed and will become wretched in their own<br />
confusion and frustration! As Jesus said, the very writings of the<br />
prophets hang on whether or not nations obey or disobey God’s<br />
law. Every prophecy written against a nation shows that God foresaw<br />
that the nation would disobey and turn away its eyes from His<br />
law and obedience to His commandments! These are living laws—<br />
like the law of gravity—that rule the world in which we live!<br />
Learn to Love and Worship God Above All Else<br />
Jesus said that the great commandment is to love God with all<br />
of your heart and soul and mind. You are to worship and serve<br />
God with all of your being! Whenever you think or speak or hear<br />
of anything good or beautiful or wonderful, you should think of<br />
