Joshua 22: 5
But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul. Joshua 22:5
Love the Lord your God:
Love: beloved like, friend, show your love
To walk in all His ways:
Walk: all along, behave self, on continually, be conversant
Ways: a course of life or mode of action, journey, manner, wisdom and moral
To keep His commandments:
Keep: guard; to protect, attend to, watch, preserve
Commandments: code of law, ordinance, precept
To hold fast to Him:
Hold fast: cling, cleave to, with idea of physical proximity retained, follow close hard after, be joined together
To serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul:
To serve: keep in bondage, work
Heart: inner man, indefinite the soul, comprehending mind, affections and will
Soul: living being, self, desire, passion, appetite, emotion
LOVE - that is action - show your love to the Lord your God.
WALK/WAYS - that is action - have the mindset and wisdom to behave continually
KEEP/COMMANDMENTS - that is action - preserve attend to the code of law. (In order to this, you must KNOW the commandments!)
HOLD FAST - that is action - CLING HOLD ON TIGHT!
SERVE - that is action - work!
Notice the order - it all begins with Loving God! When your focus in on loving God then the walking, keeping, holding fast, and serving is a natural outcome!
