“THERE IS NO OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE”

“THERE IS NO OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE” (Mark 12:28-31)

Jesus was asked by a teacher of the law, “Which is the greatest commandment?” Jesus replied, quoting Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”

This verse emphasizes the importance of loving God and loving others.

Loving God

1. With all your heart: Emotionally and passionately, with every fiber of your being.
2. With all your soul: Spiritually and deeply, connecting with God’s Spirit.
3. With all your mind: Intellectually and intentionally, seeking to understand and apply God’s Word.
4. With all your strength: Physically and energetically, using your talents and abilities to serve God.

Loving Your Neighbour

1. As yourself: Unconditionally and selflessly, treating others with the same love and respect you desire for yourself. (Do you love yourself?)
2. Regardless of background or circumstances: Loving others despite their differences, weaknesses, or mistakes.

By following these two commandments, we demonstrate our love for God and our commitment to living a life that honours Him.
