Have you ever heard “BIBLE — Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”?
I was thinking, 🤔 “Basic Instructions Before Life Eternal” fits better.
In today’s reading, Mark 12:30 brought this to my mind. If Jesus is telling us to love God with all that we are—with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength—then the Bible must give us wisdom and instruction on how to do that.
The mind is to be renewed (Romans 12:2).
The heart is to be kept (Proverbs 4:23).
The body is to be brought into subjection (1 Corinthians 9:27).
The self is to be denied (Luke 9:23).
The whole person is to be presented to God (Romans 12:1).
And did you know that in Mark 12:30, Jesus is pointing back to and quoting Deuteronomy 6:4–5?
All praise and glory to God! 🙌
