The First and Great Commandment
from Daily Sermon Station · host Daily Sermon Station
In this sermon on Mark 12:30, Charles Spurgeon explains that God's greatest commandment is to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, which means loving God more than anything else and putting your whole self into loving Him. Spurgeon shows that everyone breaks this commandment—whether they openly hate God, ignore Him completely, admire Him but don't love Him, or just go through religious motions without real affection—and breaking this law means you deserve punishment. However, Spurgeon offers hope by teaching that Jesus perfectly kept this commandment for us, and when we trust in Jesus as our Savior, His perfect obedience counts as ours, freeing us from the law's condemnation and giving us the desire and power to truly love God.Sermon delivered on November 8, 1857.
