Mark 12:32-34
32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” But after that no one dared question Him.
Really understanding God's heart means we draw nearer the kingdom with all our heart for what is on His. We love Him completely, "all in," and others just a little less than that. This is the sacrifice of praise and service that is wisdom and life. What else will it be like in God's presence forever with our brothers and sisters in Christ? We must begin here, for the kingdom of God is within us...
