God calls his people to pass down the Christian faith to the next generation.

Are you prepared for this high calling?

Hi, Nathan W. Bingham here, host of Renewing Your Mind.

What would you say is the most important of all God's commands?

Jesus answered that question by saying, Love the Lord your God with all your heart

and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Have you ever wondered what it

means to love God and other people with your mind? When we think of loving anyone, we usually think in terms of hearts and

souls, and we might think about loving someone with all our strength, too. But according to Jesus,

we should also love God with all our minds. Well, how are we supposed to do that? When we see the

word mind in the New Testament, it's usually the Greek word

nowse. It's the part of us that perceives and understands. It discerns between good and evil.

It's the God-given power to consider, to reflect, to judge soberly, calmly and impartially.

So to love God with our nouse, our minds, is to love him by engaging with him intellectually and rationally. The Lord doesn't want us

to switch off our brains and just feel.

In fact, as it says in Isaiah chapter 1, he says to his people, come now, let us reason together.

So what does it look like practically to love God with our minds?

Well, to give one example, we have his word on our nightstand.

Do we love him enough to read it and wrestle intellectually with it?
