Old Testament: Deu 6.4–5
To read the Bible in a year, read Deuteronomy 5–7 on March 8, In the year of our Lord Christ 2020

Whatever the Bible says, we must give our earnest heed to it, but there are some things that require even more undivided attention, such as when Moses said:
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”
– Deuteronomy 6.4–5
We learn in the New Testament that Jesus made this the first and great commandment. Therefore, Israel and Christians today ignore it to their own peril.
Questions:
- Why is this commandment number one?
- Why is it crucial to believe that God is one?
