Deuteronomy
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4 ESV)
One
Today it seems that ‘truth’ has become vague, undefinable, and relative. Everyone has our own own own own truth, we seem to believe.
But God says otherwise.
The Lord our God is one.
The only one.
Not one out of many options, or one part of a whole, or one way of understanding.
He is IT.
The Lord is one.
Without that concept, God’s Truth becomes a matter of our choice, our opinion, our deduction, our needs, and our comfort.
And that means His Word is one. His definition of life is one. His definition of sin is one. His way of salvation is one.
God is not like the many choices found at McDonald’s, Walmart, or the movie theater.
He simply (and wonderfully) IS.
