Psalm 147:19-20 Part 2 of 2

He has revealed his words to Jacob,

    his decrees and regulations to Israel.

He has not done this for any other nation;

    they do not know his regulations.

 

Praise the LORD! 

 

He has not done this for any other nation; they do not know his regulations. Praise the LORD!

Deuteronomy 4:6-8

"Obey them completely, and you will display your wisdom and intelligence among the surrounding nations. When they hear all these decrees, they will exclaim, 'How wise and prudent are the people of this great nation!' For what great nation has a god as near to them as the LORD our God is near to us whenever we call on him? And what great nation has decrees and regulations as righteous and fair as this body of instructions that I am giving you today?" 

 

Deuteronomy 4:32-35  

"Now search all of history, from the time God created people on the earth until now, and search from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything as great as this ever been seen or heard before? Has any nation ever heard the voice of God speaking from fire--as you did--and survived? Has any other god dared to take a nation for himself out of another nation by means of trials, miraculous signs, wonders, war, a strong hand, a powerful arm, and terrifying acts? Yet that is what the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, right before your eyes. 

    "He showed you these things so you would know that the LORD is God and there is no other.  (see Deuteronomy 4:1-40)

Mark 12:29-34  

    Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: 'Listen, O Israel! The LORD our God is the one and only LORD. And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Deuteronomy 6:4-5) No other commandment is greater than these."

    The teacher of religious law replied, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth by saying that there is only one God and no other. And I know it is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. This is more important than to offer all the burnt offerings and sacrifices required in the law."

    Realizing how much the man understood, Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.  (see Mark 12:18-34)
