TEACHER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? JESUS SAID TO HIM, YOU SHALL LOVE THE YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT: YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. ( MATTHEW 22:36-40 *NKJV ) In the top verse Jesus quoted from DEUTERONOMY 6:5 and LEVITICUS 19:18. By fulfilling these two commands, a person may keep all of the others. For these two summarize the Ten Commandments, as well as, the Old Testament moral laws as well! The Apostle John summed it up this way; BELOVED, IF GOD SO LOVED US, WE ALSO OUGHT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. ( 1 JOHN 4:11 ) This is why it is so important in our walk of Faith, that we become living examples of Christs Love! For when we mirror that Great Love, it actually plants the seeds of Faith in others, thus helping them to achieve Eternal Life with our Heavenly Father. There is no greater gift that you can give to someone! Further by giving this gift it pleases God and all of the Company of Heaven, for it is written; THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS. ( LUKE 15:10 ) So, have a wonderful day, and please take the time to do a little planting! Amen.
