A Promise For You From Bible Promises:


Topic: Which is the Greatest Commandment?

Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. Matthew 22:36-38

The Bible in Exodus 20 gave us Ten Commandments to obey, these law were given by God to regulate the activities of the children of Israelite. They were given to guide and punished offenders, those who abandon the ways of God Almighty to follow after other gods. But when Jesus was asked which is the greatest one among all the Commandments, Jesus reduced it to one which He answered the lawyer in the above Bible passage.

Jesus reduced the Commandments to one because He is the love of God personified, so, every other law are fulfilled in love. Vs 40. Paul also said in Romans 13:8&10 that love is the fulfilling of the law. Therefore, if you observe all the laws without loving is tantamount to disobedient to God. Whatever you do without love is unacceptable to God and to man. Love is the greatest in the kingdom of God Almighty, therefore, you must love if you truly want to be with God in heaven. Remember, God is love and he that loves have God as his Father, and he that loves not know no God. 1 John 4:7-8.

* Do not love the brethren in words alone, but in giving, truth and in deed. 1 John 3:17-18. Enjoy God’s presence.
