John 14:21

“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”

 

in Mark Jesus tells us what Commandment are first and for most and it looks like if we do these two we can accomplish all of Gods commandments

 

Mark 12:29-31

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

 

the Lord our God is one Lord

and we are to love the Lord out God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind, and with all our strength.

and we should love our neighbor as we love our self

these are the greatest commandments the commandments witch seems all other commandments pivot from.

 

you may ask, for a lot of people do "who is my neighbor" and it seems the people who ask that are actually looking for who they do not have to love,

but God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in Him may have eternal life. so God loves the world,

 

the Father (God) loves the Son (Christ Jesus) the Son loves the Father,

the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father,

the Son loves the Father and the Father loves the son, the Father gave the Son to come for our forgivness and the Son freely came to the world for us so that the love of the Father which is in Jesus may dwell in us and we may dwell in Him, even so as He dwells in the Father,

so the love of the Father is in Him, in Christ Jesus and in us, if we ask Him and His Spirit to come in to our lives and forgive us of our sins putting our faith in Christ Jesus and trust Him in all things.

 

so if we now have the love of Christ Jesus in our lives we allso have the love of Father God dwelling in us,

so the question really is who is not our neighbor.

 

we are to love the Lord our God with

all our heart,

and with all our soul,

and with all our mind,

and with all our strength.

and love our neighbor as we love our self.

 

you might ask what is love???

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient,

love is kind

 

love is not jealous;

love does not brag

love is not arrogant,

 

love does not act unbecomingly;

love does not seek its own,

love not provoked,

love does not take into account a wrong suffered,

love does not rejoice in unrighteousness,

 

love rejoices with the truth;

love bears all things,

love believes all things,

love hopes all things,

love endures all things.

 

Love never fails

 

each of these are actions, they are choices an action can be practiced, and making a choice is up to you.

 

do you fulfill the commandments of Christ Jesus?

do these fifteen actions of love reside in your life?

do they shin out to others?

do your neighbors see them in you and they way you communicate with them and others?

do you love the Lord your God?

do you love your neighbor?

 

are you like Christ or are you more like the world?

 

think about it!
