Genesis 28:15
I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.
Joshua 1:7-8
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Matthew 22:37
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
Love God with All Your Heart, Will, and Life
The greatest message of the New Testament is found in Matthew 22:37. Jesus said to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. According to this Word, Jesus served and loved God with all his heart, will, and life, and he carried out God’s Will for the New Testament.
Likewise, the most important thing for people to do is to hold onto, protect, keep, and take action on God’s Will and purpose with all our heart, will, and life. When we do so, we will fulfill God’s Purpose of Creation and the purpose for which we were born. Furthermore, we will also fulfill God’s wishes and our own wishes.
If we don’t live according to God’s Word, we will live apart from the Will for which God had created nature and human beings. As a result, we will sin, and we will keep opposing God’s Will. At such times, God will make us repent.
Repentance is accepting God’s Word, being sorry for what we have done, and taking action again according to God’s Will. When we live in sin, apart from God’s Word and Will, God saves us by making us repent and helps us to take action again according to His Word.
God and the Holy Spirit Take Action with Us
God and the Holy Spirit are always with us. They become one and give us power and inspiration. God gives the design and the Holy Spirit gives inspiration so that we can speak, think, and take action. They turn circumstances around, remind us, protect us, and give us strength. When we realize that They’re taking action with us, we’ll be filled with even greater inspiration, strength, and courage, and the Holy Spirit will work upon us even more so that we’ll be able to take action more definitely.
If we live each day without forgetting this, then even during moments when we collapse or are discouraged, we’ll be able to get back up and take action with God and the Holy Spirit, giving all our heart, will, and life. Consequently, we will live a life of salvation: the life of fulfilling God’s Will every day.
Conversely, if we become lonely, thinking we are by ourselves, and if we get discouraged and afraid, thinking we are acting alone, we will get caught up in extremely physical thoughts. Then, taking action with all our heart, will, and life will become difficult, living to fulfill God’s Will will feel meaningless, and our thoughts and actions won’t be able to move forward either.
Just as it says in Ecclesiastes 4:12, “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Investing all our heart, will, and life is a cord of three strands. If we put in all our heart, will, and life, we won’t break. We will be victorious, having become three strands.
If we do things by ourselves, it is only one strand. It will break because it is weak. We need to realize how great it is that the omnipotent God and Holy Spirit are with us. We should take action matching Their heart and Will.
If we take action with all our heart, will, and life, God and the Holy Spirit will surely take action with us. So absolutely believe this, and may you take action powerfully with hope! Amen.
