Antidote of Prevention

(Jos 23:11)

11 (Take good heed) therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

This passage is in the middle of Moses’s command by God…

Before-this passage:

Power and Assurance of Victory

After-this passage:

Curses from serving their gods…

It Appears to be all Hinged on this one Passage-

*(Love the Lord your God)

More…than just mere obedience, He (God) knew that Love for Him goes deeper and further…

When the Command and Desire to Obey wears off, *Love takes you further!

⁃ When you Love, it will carry you beyond your limits-

⁃ When you Love, you don’t think of consequences-

⁃ When you Love, you don’t need to be told-

⁃ When you Love, there’s no expiration date-

⁃ When you Love, there’s no fear-

All of Israel’s failings were always because of failure to Love Him more than the letter…

When Jesus came their biggest obstacle was they valued the letter more than the Message-

They didn’t Love God, they only Obeyed God…

The Antidote for Remaining right with God and Not Falling for sin is-

That ye love the LORD your God.
