Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: This is the great doctrine that we learn, both from the Old and the New Testament there is one Lord. And this great truth has been burnt into the Jews by their long chastisement, and, whatever other mistakes they make, you never find them making a mistake about this. The Lord thy God is one Lord. May...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God,.... Which is the first and chief commandment in the law, the sum and substance of the first table of it; and includes in it, or at least has connected with it, knowledge of God, esteem of him, delight in him, faith and trust in him, fear and worship of him, and obedience to him, which when right springs from...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. It is not a little love that God deserves, nor is it a little love that he will accept. He blesses us with all his heart and all his might, and after that fashion are we to love him.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Does not this show what is the very nature of God? God is love, for he commands us to love him. There was never an earthly prince or king whom I have heard of in whose statute book it was written, “Thou shalt love the king.” No; it is only in...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And these words, which I command thee this day,.... To hearken to, observe, and take notice of, that God is one, and is to be loved in the strongest manner that possibly can be: shall be in thine heart; on the table of the heart, as the Targum of Jonathan; see 2 Corinthians 3:3, be cordially received, have a place in the affections of the heart,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. The Word of God if not for some particular place called a church or a meeting...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: Oh, how blessed to have them written on the heart by the Holy Spirit. We can never get them there except he who made the heart anew shall engrave upon these fleshy tablets the divine precepts.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And thou shall teach them diligently unto thy children,.... Care and diligence are to be used, and pains taken, to instruct children, as soon as they are capable, in the knowledge of God, and of his commandments; that they are to love him, fear him, serve, and worship him; this is to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, Christian parent, have you done this? “Thou shalt” not only teach them, but “teach them diligently unto thy children.” Deu_6:7. And shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Our common talk should...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand,.... As a man ties anything to his hand for a token, that he may remember somewhat he is desirous of; though the Jews understand this literally, of binding a scroll of parchment, with this section and others written in it, upon their left hand, as the Targum of Jonathan here interprets the hand:...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. With thee in all thine actions — with thee in all thy thoughts —conspicuously with thee — not out of ostentation, but through thine obedience to become apparent unto all men.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, They shall be thy practical guide, at thy fingers’ ends, as it were. Deu_6:8. And they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. Thou shalt see by them, thou shalt see with them, thou shalt see through them.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thine house, and on thy gates. To put them in mind of them when they went out and came in, that they might be careful to observe them; this the Jews take literally also, and write in a scroll of parchment this section with some passages; and, as the Targum of Jonathan here, fix them in three places, over...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, And the houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. I could almost wish that this were literally fulfilled much more often than it is. I was charmed, in many a Swiss village, to see a text of Scripture carved on the door post. A text hung up in your houses may often speak when you are silent. We cannot do anything that shall...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land,.... The land of Canaan, on the borders of which they now were, and were just going into: which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee; of his own free favour and good will, without any merit and desert of theirs, and in which would be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And houses full of all good things which thou filledst not,.... Not only full of good, convenient, and rich household furniture, but of the fruits of the earth, of corn, and wine, and oil, and also, perhaps, of gold and silver: and wells digged which thou diggedst not; which in those hot and dry countries were in much esteem, and of great worth;...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Then beware lest thou forget the Lord,.... To love, fear, and worship him, and keep his commands; creature enjoyments being apt to get possession of the heart, and the affections of it; Proverbs 30:9 which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; into a land abounding with all the above good things, and therefore...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him,.... Serve him through fear; not through slavish fear, a fear of hell and damnation; but through filial fear, a reverential affection for that God that had brought them out of a state of bondage into great and glorious liberty, out of Egypt into Canaan's land, out of a place of misery into a land of...
