Matthew 22:34-40
The Greatest Commandment
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Jeremiah 29:13
Seek God With All Your Heart
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
When I think of God and Jesus, I see the Supernatural and Divine surrounding them...
God seeks the soul and Spirit of the human body...The Prophet Jeremiah told us that God said, we would find Him if we seek Him with all our heart...Jesus tells us to love God with our minds, our hearts, and our souls...So we are to use our minds to seek and love God...But even though we use our minds to love God and to find Him, we are still longing to have God answer many more questions that we have about Him and His Son...And even when we have faith and believe, there is still Great Mystery that surrounds God...Maybe this is because God is Spirit and is Supernatural...And of all the Great Mysteries of the universe and of the heart, God is the One most desire and the One we want to learn about the most...
But using only the mind and having a valid reason and logic to seek God leaves out the heart and soul...If we seek and love God without the heart and soul, something is amiss...The Mystery of God is gone, if we use only are minds to seek and find Him...Faith is not pure logic or pure reason...So we cannot submit our faith and our belief only to the mind, it leaves out the two things that maybe offend religion-mystery and the supernatural...
Blaise Pascal wrote, “If we submit everything to reason our religion will be left with nothing mysterious or supernatural...If we offend the principles of reason our religion will be absurd and ridiculous . . . There are two equally dangerous extremes: to exclude reason, to admit nothing but reason.”...
