Read Deuteronomy 5 MEMORY VERSE FOR THE WEEK: Hebrew 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Highlights: The Ten Commandments; warnings against disobedience; teaching the children the Law of God; blessings of obedience. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: (Deuteronomy 6:4). The Hebrew word translated our God is Elohenu, meaning our Gods. The Hebrew word echad expresses one in the collective sense and signifies a compound unity. Thus, one Lord is a glorious revelation of the One True God as being one yet expressed in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Consider these revelations: Let Us make man in Our image (Genesis 1:26); as one of Us (3:22); let Us go (11:7); and who will go for Us? (Isaiah 6:8). The same Hebrew word, ‘echad, is used in Genesis 2:24 where man and woman become one flesh; even with numerous children, they are still called “one” family. The Hebrew word for “one” in the sense of absolute oneness is the word yacheed, meaning an “absolute one.” Moses had the word yacheed available to him, but, obviously, Moses was led by God to accurately refer to Him by the word ‘echad, meaning a compound unity. Those who reject Jesus as fully God, as well as fully Man, are rejecting the true revelation of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26). Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will. . . . In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:5,7). And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ (3:9). And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:11). For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (I Thessalonians 5:9). It is important to recognize that those who reject Jesus as the Son of God and only Savior are actually worshipers of a false god. The witness of Scripture is clear: For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus (I Timothy 2:5). In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. . . . And the Word was made (became) flesh, and dwelt among us (John 1:1-3,14). Thought for Today: As we desire to obey Gods Word, it becomes more precious every day.
