I was driving through Point Pleasant today and saw a church marque that read, “If you love Christ, you already love your brother.” Unfortunately that church read their Bible wrong and they got the order wrong. 1 John 4:20 says, “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” The order here is pretty clear – the first greatest commandment (Love the Lord Your God with all your heart . . .) can only be achieved when the second greatest commandment is achieved: Love your neighbor as yourself. Gratuitous conservatism in order to make a cutesie statement on a marque can end up contradicting the Bible!
