What Does Luke 10:27 Mean

Love the Lord your God

This opening call sets the direction for every other command. InLuke 10:27, Jesus affirms the Shema ofDeuteronomy 6:5, anchoring love for God as the core of covenant faithfulness. Like Joshua urging Israel, “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15), the verse invites a deliberate, whole-life allegiance. True obedience starts with affection—not mere duty—and overflows into the areas that follow.

with all your heart

• The “heart” is the seat of our desires and affections. God looks beyond actions to motive: “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7).

• A guarded heart directs the entire life: “Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life” (Proverbs 4:23).

• Loving God with all the heart means:

– Welcoming His Word (Psalm 119:11).

– Rejecting rival loves (Matthew 6:21).

– Cultivating gratitude and praise (Psalm 103:1).

and with all your soul

• The “soul” encompasses the very life-breath God has given (Genesis 2:7).

• Jesus asks, “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?” (Matthew 16:26). Whole-soul love places God above career, comfort, or even physical life (Revelation 12:11).

• It manifests in:

– Thirsting for God in hardship (Psalm 42:1-2).

– Persevering under trial because eternal life is secure in Him (Hebrews 10:39).

and with all your strength

• Strength covers practical capacity—energy, resources, abilities.Deuteronomy 6:5 links love to tangible action.

• “Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23).

• Ways this shows up:

– Prioritizing worship even when tired or busy (Psalm 84:2).

– Generous giving that reflects trust in God’s provision (2 Corinthians 9:7-8).

– Physical obedience—serving, helping, building, protecting (Nehemiah 4:6).

and with all your mind

• The mind engages thought, reason, imagination. Love for God is never anti-intellectual.

• “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2) implies deliberate, Spirit-led thinking.

• Practical expressions:

– Filling thoughts with truth: “Whatever is true… think on these things” (Philippians 4:8).

– Testing ideas against Scripture like the Bereans (Acts 17:11).

– Rejecting double-mindedness (James 1:8) and embracing single-minded devotion.

Love your neighbor as yourself

• Jesus joinsLeviticus 19:18 to the Shema, showing that love for God cannot be severed from love for people (1 John 4:20-21).

• “Neighbor” includes anyone God places in our path, as illustrated by the Good Samaritan immediately following (Luke 10:30-37).

• Loving others “as yourself” means:

– Recognizing shared dignity: all bear God’s image (Genesis 1:27).

– Meeting practical needs (James 2:15-16).

– Extending mercy, forgiveness, and patience (Ephesians 4:32).

– Refusing partiality, thus fulfilling “the royal law” (James 2:8).

summary

Luke 10:27 calls for an all-inclusive, undivided love for God that engages affections, identity, abilities, and intellect, and then expresses itself outwardly in active, practical love for every neighbor. Wholehearted devotion to the Lord naturally produces wholehearted service to people, showing the world the beauty of the greatest commandments lived out together.
