God is One! Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Introduction Let us consider the meaning and implication of the Deuteronomic declaration. –This passage communicates a central truth about Jehovah God: namely, “The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!” –It also conveys a corresponding implication about our conduct and conviction: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”

The Great Commandment Significantly, this Scripture is thrice quoted in the New Testament. When asked, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment” (Matthew 22:34- 40; cf. Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-29).

Plurality of the Godhead How can God be one, and yet be composed of three distinct personalities? In the creation account, the Lord God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…” (Genesis 1:26-27; cf. 3:22-24). In dispersing the nations, the Lord said, “Let Us go down and there confuse their language…” (Genesis 11:1-9; cf. 9:1). The threefold nature of the Godhead was also evidenced at Jesus’ baptism (Matthew 3:16-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:29-34).

Definitions of Divine Oneness Deuteronomy 6:4 says, “Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!” The Hebrew word echad, pronounced “ekh·AWD,” and here translated “one,” is “a primary cardinal number,” meaning “one” [Thomas & BDB].

Definitions of Divine Oneness Harris says, “This word occurs 960 times as a noun, adjective, or adverb, as a cardinal or ordinal number, often used in a distributive sense. … It stresses unity while recognizing diversity within that oneness” [TWOT]. Gesenius says it is “a numeral having the power of an adjective... joined in one, united...” In this context, Swanson says “one” signifies “that which is united as one in contrast to separate parts.”

Characteristics of Divine Oneness The True God is Singular (Deuteronomy 4:32-40; 5:7-10; Isaiah 44:6-8; 45:5-7). The True God is Unified (John 10:24-30; 14:8-12; 17:20-24; Ephesians 4:4-6).

Illustrations of Divine Oneness The Oneness of Marriage (Genesis 2:18- 24). The Oneness of Pharaoh’s Dreams (Genesis 41:1-8, 25-36). The Oneness of the Tabernacle Curtains (Exodus 26:1-6). The Oneness of the Faithful (2 Chronicles 30:1-12; Jeremiah 32:36-41; Ezekiel 11:17-21; 37:15-23).

Conclusion Let us recognize both the singularity and the unity of God. May we cultivate a love for God and his revealed word. In like manner, may we also strive to be a singular people, united on principles of divine truth (Acts 2:41-47; 4:32-35; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17).
