Matthew 22:36
God cares about the way that we treat people. According to Exodus chapter 20, God gave Moses the 10 commandments for His people to keep.
1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.
Of the 10 Commandments, six of them have to do with horizontal relationships. Four of them have to do with vertical. Because when we love God, we will love people who are created in His image.
Greatest commandment is LOVE
Love God, Love your neighbor, love yourself
Matthew 22:36 ''Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?'' 37 Jesus said to him, '''You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.''
LOVE - the greatest is love. Love is the great commandment. The problem is that people cannot love if they haven't received love. How many ills in society would be healed if people knew how much they were loved? How many prisons would be torn down because there were no more people to fill them? People so devoid of love on the inside cannot feel or express love on the outside. You've heard the expression, ''there's a God-shaped hole in everyone's heart.'' The hole is God-shaped, but He fills the hole with LOVE. Because when we've received love, we will show love.
That's why Jesus said the greatest is LOVE. Why? Because love conquers evil, love fills the gaps, love covers a multitu ...
