Jesus said the greatest commandment is to "Love God" and the second is to "Love People". If nothing else was said, I would have plenty of reason to turn to Jesus for help.
Have you noticed that the only person you naturally love is yourself? Focus on others today. Love.
Love God and love people.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's all?
Jesus may have condensed the Law's essence in a way that is more simple to communicate, but He certainly did not make fulfilling the Law any more simple by insisting on one's whole mind, soul, and strength being set on God and loving our neighbor as much as we love ourselves.
We cannot fulfill this Law, but with a new heart and a new birth, we can begin to love God and our neighbor in the Spirit by the grace He has given us. Our faith works.
