  1. Mark 12:30,31 "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." Intellectual Center Emotional Center Volitional Center Ethical Center

  2. Matthew 22:40 "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

  3. Deuteronomy 6:5 "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."

  4. Leviticus 19:18 "You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."

  5. A Life of Full Service to God Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself.

  6. The Heart - Emotional Service The Heart Must Be Pure. The Heart Is Purified by Obedient Faith. The Mouth Speaks from the Heart. True Service Comes from the Heart. Your Heart Must Be Kept with All Diligence. It Is Natural to Serve God Out of Love.

  9. STRENGTH If Jesus is indeed speaking of the inner man in his various capacities, this would seem to be referring to one’s volitional strength not physical strength - the strength of will not the strength of body. We have all heard of cases where one’s volitional strength overcame the limitations of his body.

  10. STRENGTH OF WILL In speaking of self-control, W.E. Vine points out, “The various powers bestowed by God upon man are capable of abuse; the right use demands the controlling power of the will under the operation of the Spirit of God;

  11. STRENGTH OF WILL “in Acts 24:25 the word follows ‘righteousness,’ which represents God’s claims, self-control being man’s response thereto; in 2 Peter 1:6, it follows ‘knowledge,’ suggesting that what is learnt requires to be put into practice” (W.E. Vine).

  12. Acts 24:25 Now as (Paul) reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, "Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you."

  13. 2 Peter 1:5-7 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

  14. STRENGTH OF WILL These “various powers” include the intellectual, emotional and ethical functions of which man is capable, and which are ideally “under the controlling power of the will.”

  15. STRENGTH OF WILL It is possible, however, for this “controlling power” to be usurped by outside forces, such as tribulation, persecution, temptation, cares, riches and pleasures of life.

  16. Matthew 13:20-21 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

  17. Luke 8:13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.

  18. Matthew 13:22 "Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful."

  19. Luke 8:14 "Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity."

  20. STRENGTH OF WILL But a Christian must control self in all things. Therefore, if we are to maintain self-control, we must strengthen the “power of the will,” which requires “giving all diligence.”

  21. 1 Corinthians 9:25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.

  22. 2 Peter 1:8,9 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

  23. 2 Peter 1:10,11 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

  24. The Will - Physical Service One Must Have the Strength of Will to Purify His Body as Well as His Spirit.

  25. 2 Corinthians 6:17,18 Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you." "I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty."

  26. 2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

  27. Romans 7:18,19 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

  28. Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

  29. The Will - Physical Service One Must Have the Strength of Will to Purify His Body as Well as His Spirit. How the Body Is Purified.

  30. Romans 8:10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

  31. Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

  32. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

  33. The Will - Physical Service One Must Have the Strength of Will to Purify His Body as Well as His Spirit. How the Body Is Purified. Full Service to God Must Involve the Body.

  34. 2 Corinthians 4:8-11 We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed-- always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

  35. Galatians 6:17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

  36. Philippians 1:19,20 For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

  37. The Will - Physical Service One Must Have the Strength of Will to Purify His Body as Well as His Spirit. How the Body Is Purified. Full Service to God Must Involve the Body. Saints Will Be Given a New Body.

  38. Philippians 3:20,21 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

  39. 1 Corinthians 15:39-41 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

  40. 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. pneumatikon psuchikon
