"The LORD your God..."

Text: Deuteronomy 10:17

THE CORRECT PERSPECTIVE OF GOD

Jesus’ perspective of God was absolutely correct! Let us look at some texts that help us understand why we should acknowledge the LORD as our one and only God.

“For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords,
the great God, mighty and awesome…
You shall fear the LORD your God;
you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast,
and take oaths in His name.”
Deuteronomy 10:17, 20
