Bible Question: Why is it impossible to serve two masters? |
Bible Answer: Matthew 6:24 says "either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other". A person cannot be wholeheartedly devoted to two masters, yielding to both at the same time. Matt. 12:25-26 - "a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand", but we are to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. (Matt. 22:37) |
