Bible Question:
Repost post number 2120 : Is the command to "LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH" in Mark 12:29-34 and elsewhere something that we, as Christians indwelt by the Holy Spirit can attain with God's enablement in this life, or is this merely an impossible command designed to humble us in our sinfulness? I find the above old post when I google around. I feel it interesting and worth our pondering again and would like to have some more inputs. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: Happy New Year to you Azure. Your question is an interesting one. I am slowly going through Hebrews precept upon precept. In it I have learned that the christian life is a journey. We start out as babes in Christ. We are to grow and mature. Just as it is impossible for a newborn baby to stay a child it is impossible for a christian to stay a babe in Christ. As a newborn baby falls many times and makes many mistakes he does reach adulthood. It is a natural process. Also a newborn christian will grow and mature in Christ. He also falls and makes many mistakes. He does mature though. It also is for lack of a better phrase "a natural process". Mark 12:29-34 |
