Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!

Deuteronomy 6:4

THE POWER OF ONE

What would your life look like if all of your time, energy, resources, and efforts were focused in the single-minded pursuit of loving God.

One Source of Authority

[C]hoose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Joshua 24:15

One Sense of Purpose

[Be] like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit . . . .

Philippians 2:2

One Simple Motive

“The most important one,” answered Jesus, is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Mark 12:29

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’”

Mark 12:30

[D]o not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? . . .

[D]o not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:25-33
