Far from the KingdomMark 12:28-341.Love the Lord your GodThis is quite possibly the most important verse in the whole entire bible. You can spend the rest of your life working on this if you’d unpack it as much as it needs to be unpackedIf you get your heart, mind, and soul right, you get your relationship with God rightIf you learn to love your neighbor as yourself- you’ll get your relationship with the world rightIts easy to say- its hard to live outThe entire exercise of Christianity is getting where you need to be spiritually. Its where you have made God your number one focus and yourself NOT the number one focus.Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Either you are living for Jesus or you are living for the Devil. It’s an all or nothing proposition. There is no middle ground.Rev 3:16 Jesus said that he spits lukewarm things out of his mouth. He want hot or cold. Not warmGet this right- get the sin out of life, get your relationships where they need to be, fix your finances, fix your health, fix your living situation. EVERYTHING flows from having the correct focus and standard with God.Today is Christmas eve! Today is “God and sinners reconciled” and “in sin and error pining, til he appeared and the soul felt its worth” and “to save us all from Satan’s power when we had gone astray” and “Let earth receive her king”Christmas eve service is tonight- I encourage you to come out tonight. Its going to be amazingYou might ask, ‘why aren’t we preaching on Christmas on Christmas eve?’Folks- The most exciting part of Christmas is that the savior of the world came to save you from your sin, and because of that you should love God with all your heart, mind and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.2.So what does it mean to love With all your heart.
Its your affections! What you love/emotionWhat we love with our heart shows what we hold the most dear in our heart.I can stand here and talk about the sins of the world that you shouldn’t partake of- drinking, cussing, fighting, stealing etc etc That’s the easy stuff to get rid of.I want you to reflect on the stuff that you really hold higher in your heart that God. Your kids. Your spouse. Your career. Your money. Your house. Your status. Your comfort. Your hope.Many of you don’t even hope in God. You’ve got more hope in your employer or your own ability to produce your own results than you do in God.Deuteronomy 6:5 love the lord your God with all your heartBut how can we test that? Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.The only treasure you have is your energy and your time. Wherever you put the bulk of your energy and time is where your treasure is.Deuteronomy 13:3 tested to see if you love the lordDeuteronomy 4:39-40
What it means to youGod will test you to see where your heart is at- according to Deuteronomy 13:3You can lie to yourself, spouse, friends, and me. But no lying to God. He knows what you lvoeYou can be at work 40 hours a week and be doing it unto the Lord- there is no getting out of thatDeuteronomy 7:9-10 READ Love God or he will destroy those who hate himYou want to be on the love side! You want to be on the mercy side!Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.If you don’t love God, don’t expect that all things will work together for Good in your life. That’s not a promise of Scripture.But how do you change your heart? BY CHANGING YOUR MIND3.Jesus said- With all your mind- your mind means what you desire.
