Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.
In reviewing the last episode, Rabbi Berkson cautions against deceptive teachers, as John also cautioned in 1 John 4:1. This deception is at work today in some faiths that are actually a “World System mixed with Truth.” As Rabbi Berkson points out, some people have a tough time hearing the message from the Word of Elohim because it’s not delivered in a way that matches their predetermined ideas of how it should be dispensed. The teachers in this system are also guarded in what they say and how they say it because they are more concerned with offending people than with pleasing Elohim.
In 1 John 4:7, Rabbi Berkson begins this teaching by explaining that we are to love one another who are of the same mind in Messiah. He explains that if we can’t love each other, how can we extend any love outside of ourselves to those whom Elohim would want to have in covenant with Him? In verse 9, the word ‘manifest’ is used, and Rabbi Berkson wants to ensure the definition of that word does not get lost in any prior understanding we may have. The word ‘manifest’ means to be revealed to the seeing eye. Messiah is manifested through us as we live through Him, not the other way around, loving others as He would love them.
Rabbi Berkson once again dissects these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.
