36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:36-40 NIV
The two greatest commandments to us. To Love God with all our hearts, minds and soul. To love each other like ourselves.
Many people believe that in order to be a Christian, to follow Jesus Christ, one has to follow a lengthy set of rules, laws and regulations.
''They are just too many!''
''It is too demanding!''
''It is too restrictive!''
Yet this is a mistake. The rules we are called to follow are not many, nor demanding, nor restrictive.
There are only two commandments for us. The commandments of LOVE.
Through the commandments, the only things we are demanded is to love. And through love we find the GRACE of God.
In these commandments, we find freedom. And we are FREE under God's protection.
