Defining ALL

He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
Mark 12:28b-31 NLT

It may seem silly to define the word ALL, but it sure seems to be of serious intent when repeated for each part. So how is ALL defined? According to Google's online dictionary:

predeterminer, determiner, & pronoun

1. used to refer to the whole quantity or extent of a particular group or thing.
adverb
1. used for emphasis.

noun
1. the whole of one's energy or interest

The Strong's Concordance (@ www.BlueLetterBible.org) defines it this way:

ὅλος hólos, hol'-os; a primary word; "whole" or "all", i.e. complete (in extent, amount, time or degree), especially (neuter) as noun or adverb:—all, altogether, every whit, + throughout, whole.

It leaves no question regarding how much of our heart, our soul, our mind and our strength, does it? So the question is, DO we love the Lord our God with ALL? Selah...

Prayer:

Father,

          I am guilty of not loving You with ALL. Forgive me, Father, and teach me how to do as You have commanded. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen
