“You Shall Love
The Lord Your God
With All Your Heart…”
When the Pharisees heard that he had
silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them a lawyer, asked
him a question to test him. “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”
He said to him, “’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is
the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.’
We may feel a tension between living a
holy, “separate” life and the great commandment to love our neighbor as much as
ourselves. But these two concepts do not really conflict.
A central part of a life of obedience to God is to show concern and love for
the lost.
Since we did nothing to deserve
salvation, we have nothing to boast of. By God’s grace we are saved by faith.
It is a gift from God, and it is meant to be shared with others!
The best
witness for Christ shows God’s grace
and shares His love.
