One Of The Two Supreme Commandments
“…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:39, NKJV
After loving God with all our heart, we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. These are often referred to as “The Two Great Commandments”.
It’s easy to love God but it’s not always easy to love others like we love ourselves. This is a challenge that we must strive to accomplish.
To love others in a genuine, sacrificial, and pure way, we must know what it means to be loved.
We see the evidence of such love best in the life and death of Jesus Christ. Jesus genuinely loved those who followed Him.
Jesus’ love was unconditional. It is only as we receive such love into our lives that we truly can give such love to others and fully appreciate the importance that God places upon them.
Receive God’s love into your heart and life and then give that kind of love to others that you met.
Be doing so, you will successfully keep one of the two supreme commandments given by Jesus.
