Deuteronomy 11 Emphasizes the importance of loving and obeying God, as well as teaching their commandments to children and remembering the blessings and curses associated with obedience or disobedience. Below are five verses from other Bible books that relate to the topics addressed in Deuteronomy 11.
Matthew 22:37-39: "Jesus answered, 'Love the Lord, His God of all His heart, all His soul and all His understanding.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is similar to him: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'. " This verse highlights the commandment of loving God above all and loving one's own as itself as a way of obeying God's commandments.
Psalm 78:4: "We will not cover it from our children, telling the future generation the praises of the Lord, and their strength, and the wonders that have made." This psalm emphasizes the importance of teaching children about the acts of God and their commandments, an idea that is also emphasized in Deuteronomy 11.
Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust the Lord of all your heart, and do not stir in your own understanding. Recognizes him in all your ways, and he will straighten your paths." This verse highlights the importance of trusting God and following his ways rather than depending on his own wisdom and understanding.
1 John 5:3: "For this is the love of God, Let us keep His commandments; and His commandments are not heavy." This verse highlights the connection between love for God and obedience to His commandments, which is emphasized in Deuteronomy 11.
Psalm 1:1-2: "Blessed is the man who does not walk according to the Council of the wicked, nor does he hold on the way to sinners, nor rest on the chair of the scoffers; but he has his pleasure in the law of the Lord, and in your law meditates day and night. " This psalm highlights the importance of avoiding bad influences and meditating on God's law as a way of being blessed by Him.
“A meditação não é um meio para chegar a Deus, mas um fim. A finalidade da meditação é o amor a Deus e ao próximo.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
