Luke 10:25-28 Part 2 of 2

One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: "Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus replied, "What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?" The man answered, " 'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' "  "Right!" Jesus told him. "Do this and you will live!"

The man answered, " 'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' "

Deuteronomy 6:5  "And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength."

Matthew 22:37-38  Jesus replied, " 'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment."

Mark 12:29-30  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.' "

"And 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' " 

Leviticus 19:18  "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD."

"Right! Jesus told him. "Do this and you will live!" 

Galatians 3:10-12  But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, "Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God's Book of the Law." (Deuteronomy 27:26) So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life." (Habakkuk 2:4) This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, "It is through obeying the law that a person has life." (Leviticus 18:5)

Romans 10:8-9  In fact, it (faith) says, "The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart." (Deuteronomy 30:12-14)  And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (see verses 10-13)
