As I was approaching work this morning, the verse came to mind:
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
I started thinking, "...hmm...four things we need to love God with and four commandments about loving God. I wonder if there's any correlation between these four things and the four commandments? Does each thing correspond to one of the commandments?"
I don't think there's necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between each thing and one particular commandment.
Having said that, if you had to match each thing (heart, soul, strength, mind) with one of the first four commandments, how would you match them up?
