Hear, O Israel, the Lord is One!

The human brain has difficulty comprehending the nature of the Almighty God. After all, the scripture does declare that he is invisible (yet, is seen through things he has made), immortal (yet, came among us in the form of a mortal man) and eternal (yet, he occupies time). One thing that is good for us is that God understands himself and is able to influence our understanding.

1Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

What the LORD God was in the First Testament he remains in the Second Testament. Jesus is the revelation of the One Mighty God. Perhaps, because of all the doctrines in the world today, this subject is hard for you to understand; it doesn’t have to be if you know the source of understanding.

God designed it so you or I could not figure it out with our own intellect or understanding. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 2:14,”…the things of God are spiritually discerned.” We all need Christ in us the hope of glory in order to understand the things of God; without it our comprehension is going to be unfruitful and easily influenced by man’s weak doctrines.

Why is Deuteronomy 6:4, Hear, O Israel, the Lord is One so Important?

Leaving the debate scene, which accomplishes nothing for your sincere search for truth, let’s just say there are doctrines that want to distort his deity so that the teaching of the name of Jesus and the redemption through his blood will never get taught to you. If God is one and not three persons of a trinity, then so is his name as displayed in Matthew 28 verse 19 – there’s mention of only one name here.

Even though he wore many titles and the name Jehovah to Moses under the Law, he revealed only one name associated with the remission of sins. The enemy of your soul does not want you to discover the truth that will set you free and bring joy, peace, and happiness to your life.
