Loving God with Your Whole Life

Think about about tomorrow? Monday na naman. Ano ba ang mga gagawin mo bukas?

Nape-pressure ka na ba? Mga nakaka stress na trbaho, mga gawain na nakaka-preassure.

Kakaisip mo, bukas di mo na alam kung ano ba ang dapat na natutunan mo last Sunday.

Kakaisip mo ng bukas, di mo na alam kung ano ang babaunin mo ng Monday from your Sunday.

Anong mangyayari kung yung mga kaibigan natin, pamilya natin - mga anak, kapatid; at maging mga neighbors natin ay nakikita lang ang faith mo inside the Church building?

Faith fades within generations kung ito ay hindi naisasabuhay sa pang araw-araw natin.

Kaya si Moses ay pinaalalahanan ang mga Israelita kung Sino ang kanilang Diyos at kung paano nila ipapakita ito para kay Yahweh at para sa mga susunod na henerasyon.

MBBTAG,2012

4 “Pakinggan mo, O Israel: Si Yahweh na ating Diyos ang tanging Yahweh. 5 Ibigin mo si Yahweh na iyong Diyos nang buong puso, buong kaluluwa at buong lakas. 6 Ang mga utos niya'y itanim ninyo sa inyong puso. 7 Ituro ninyo ito sa inyong mga anak; pag-aralan ninyo ito sa inyong tahanan, sa inyong paglalakbay, sa inyong pagtulog sa gabi, at sa inyong pagbangon sa umaga. 8 Ipulupot ninyo ito sa inyong mga kamay bilang tanda, itali sa inyong noo, 9 isulat sa mga hamba ng pintuan ng inyong bahay at mga tarangkahan.

ESV,2001

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 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. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Loving the one true God isn't just a private feeling‒it's a full-time commitment to God in all aspects of your life.

Ito ang bagay na nais ituro ni Moses sa bagong Henerasyon ng mga Israelita bago sila pumasok ng lupang pangako.

Loving God Requires Knowing Him (vv. 4-5)

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

You cannot truly love someone you do not truly know, at hindi mo kayang pagkatiwalaan ang sinuman kung hindi mo talaga siya kilala.

The command to love God comes immediately after the command to know who God is: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”

Know God

God is One, and is fully unified in all of His being. God is not divided into multiple gods or competing parts. Trinity: one God in being, three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Love God

With All of Your Heart (Le'vav, Lev)

Noong panahon ng mga Israelita they think that all of humans intellectual activity takes place in the heart.
Kaya ang meaning para sa kanila ng to love God is to love him with all of your will, thoughts, emotion, and with all of your life choices. - your whole inner being.
Loving God with all your heart means loving Him with your whole being–everything that is within you.

With all of Your Soul (Nephesh)

Noong panahon nila ginagamit ang salitang soul sa kahit na anong living things depende sa konteksto.
In hebrew mas nagagamit ito as means neck, throat, breath, or the whole existence of the person–everything you are.
To love God with all of your soul is to love Him with all of your existence. Yung bawat pag hinga mo at bawat pag bukas ng iyong bibig you love Him.

With all of Your Might (Me'od)

Ang meaning talaga ng Me'od ay very or much. Its an adverb. So it is something that modifies the verb.
For example noong nilikha ng Diyos ang mundo sinabi niya na ito ay very good sa Gen 1:31,
But heres what it means, loving God with all of your might is loving him with everything you possess and everything you are capable of giving.

Dahil nga ang love dito ay hindi affection or emotion, ito ay action, na kinakatawan ng tatlong bagay: your heart, soul, strength/might.

Heart — everything within you.

Soul — everything you are.

Might — everything you have.

Ang ibigin ang Diyos ay ang ipakita ito sa iyong buong pagkatao, ng bawa't paghinga - o existence, at ng lahat ng makakaya mong ibigay para sa Diyos.

Ang ibigin ang Diyos ng buong puso, kaluluwa at lakas ay ang ibigin Siya ng buo mong pagkatao, pag-hinga - o existence, at ng lahat ng makakaya mong ibigay para sa Diyos.

Because our love for God is our response for His love. Na ipinakita ng Kanyang mga nagawa para sa atin.

Loving God Requires Abiding in His Word (v. 6)

6 Ang mga utos niya'y itanim ninyo sa inyong puso.

And when we talk about heart ang ibig sabihin nito ay ang buo mong pagkatao. Itanim mo ito sa buong mong pagkatao ang Kanyang utos - Itanim mo sa buo mong pagkatao ang Salita ng Diyos.

Loving God and Abiding means ang Kanyang Salita ay hindi lamang nananatiling narinig mo on Sunday, bagkos ay isang bagay na i-aapply mo simula Monday hanggang Saturday at sa buong araw ng iyong buhay,

If we truly love God, His Word cannot remain confined to Sunday; it enters Monday.

Loving God Requires Service (7-9)

7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

At kapag sinabi natin Service, part din nito ang proclamation.

Ang paghahayag sa Panginoon, upang matutunan din ito ng mga tao na nasa paligid mo.

When Jesus was asked, anong ang pinaka dakilang utos, sinabi nya itong Shema, na syang famous command sa Israel, "Love the Lord your God" na ginawa din nilang prayer, at sinundan din naman niya ng Lev 19:18, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself"

Loving God is displayed through loving your neighbor

Loving God is displayed through loving your neighbor and not taking a grudge against them, dahil we manifest our love for God with loving other people, and it starts with our Family and to those people around you.

At kapag sinabi nating Service, part din nito ang proclamation.

Ang paghahayag ng patungkol sa Diyos, upang matutunan din ito ng mga tao na nasa paligid mo - ng pamilya mo.

Serving God is Proclaiming Him in Your Family

7 Ituro ninyo ito sa inyong mga anak; pag-aralan ninyo ito sa inyong tahanan, sa inyong paglalakbay, sa inyong pagtulog sa gabi, at sa inyong pagbangon sa umaga.

When afraid → show/teach them to trust God.
When sinned → the parent teaches repentance and God's forgiveness.
A family experiences difficulty → they pray and apply God's promises.
A child asks a question about life → the parent brings God's Word into the conversation.
A family makes decisions → they consider what Scripture teaches.

Kayong mga unang nakakapakinig ng Salita ng Diyos ang magmo-model forgiveness, love, humility, and obedience sa harapan ng inyong pamilya, ng inyong mga anak, magulang, kaibigan, at mga kapitbahay - kasama sa komonidad.

Serving God is Proclaiming Him to Yourself

Proclaiming it to yourself means, araw-araw na pagpapa-alala at pagpapakita kung sino ka ayon sa sinabi ng salita ng Diyos.

8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

That is the principle of verses 8 and 9. and this last point

Serving God is Proclaiming Him Through Your Life

Loving God is Abiding in Him with everything that is within you and serving Him with everything that is with you. Ibig-sabihin, Loving God is letting Him governs your private life, family life, and even your public involvement.

That is giving Him your whole life, your whole existence, your whole purpose in life.

Anong Plano mo bukas? Nasaan si Lord sa lahat ng plano at mga gagawin mo?
