The Laws of Love - Go >>

The Two Greatest Commandments is a brief summary of the Ten Commandments.

"Of The Ten Commandments" Commandments 1 through 4 deals with Loving God. And then commandments 5 through 10 deals with loving your neighbor.

So with that, the Two Greatest Commandments is a brief summary of the ten commandments that was handed down to us from God to Moses.

Many Christians thinks that we do not have to even think about the Ten Commandments.  And Jesus him self verifies that the law has not been abolished! (MT 5:17)

If you think it has abolished, then let me ask you this; are we allowed to have other Gods? Or are we allowed to commit adultary? Or are we allowed to steal?  OF COURSE NOT! Then the law is upheld! (MATTHEW 5:18-19)

These are the most important words in the bible and yet they are very rarely taught and talked about in the modern churches of today.

And then the meaning of the word "Love" is widely misunderstood in the Christian Communities as well. Love means we care about peoples souls and lives.

But it does not mean that we are to tolerate sin.  God Has loads of love towards people and yet he sends judgment, and his wrath (anger) to destroy evil people.

 

Matthew 22:34-40

34The Scribes: Which Is the First

     Commandment of All? (Mark 12:28-34; Luke

    10:25-28) But when the Pharisees heard that         He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered

    together.

35Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a

    question, testing Him, and saying,

36"Teacher, which is the great commandment in

         the law?"

1)   37Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'*  38This is the first and great commandment.

2)   39And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'*

40On these two commandments hang all the

    Law and the Prophets."
