“And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.” (Mark 12:29)
The Lord Jesus Christ “crucified” the flesh during every moment of his life, thereby preventing the development of the “carnal mind”, and positively manifesting only the righteousness of Yahweh.
Is it any wonder, then, that the Lord, when faced with the key question: “Which is the first commandment of all”? (Mark 12:28), carefully and accurately answered with a direct quotation from Deut. 6:5? In Mark’s account, the Lord began his reply with a reference to Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord”. Yahweh our Elohim is One Yahweh!—Mark 12:29–30, which indicates that a true knowledge and understanding concerning the Person and purpose of the Deity is a necessary prerequisite to the practice of true worship.
