The Shema Connection
Why My Faith Is Aligned with the Shema Israel
Why My Faith Is Aligned with the Shema Israel
The foundation of my faith is firmly rooted in the Shema Israel:
“Hear, O Israel: YHWH our God, YHWH is One.” Deuteronomy 6:4
This declaration is not merely a single verse, but the heart of biblical monotheism. The Shema affirms that YHWH alone is God—undivided, incomparable, and without equal.
My faith confesses one God only, YHWH, the Creator of heaven and earth. He is eternal, uncreated, self-existent, and not dependent on anything outside Himself.
My faith in Yeshua (Jesus) does not contradict the Shema. I understand Yeshua as the Messiah sent by YHWH, who calls humanity back to full obedience to the One God.
Therefore, my faith seeks to live out the Shema, not only as a verbal confession, but in daily life continually learning and striving to walk in obedience, faithfulness, humility, and love.
All glory, honor, and worship belong to YHWH alone.
