Greatest Commandment!

 We serve a Mighty Holy Righteous GOD.  Our FATHER wants a loving, living relationship with each one of us.

The first four of the Ten Commandments deal with GOD.  And then the next six deal with our neighbours.

Our FATHER wants to love HIM above all else.  HE wants us to love HIM unconditionally and not for what HE can do for us.  HE wants us to love HIM with all our hearts, with all our souls, with all our minds and with all our strengths.

Following on from that, and because GOD created all people, GOD wants us to love each other.

This is also to be an unconditional love.

Our FATHER is merciful and just.  Justice and Mercy meet at the Cross.  This is where Jesus comes in.

Jesus came, not to do away with the Old Testament, but to show us that the only way to get to the FATHER is not through our own achievements, lest any should boast, as the Pharisees and the Sadducees used to do, but through our belief in Him.

It is only through our faith in Jesus and our repentance, that we can be saved.  There is no other way.  And the only thing we can do for GOD on earth is to love HIM above all else.  And that includes loving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, and then to love each other. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I love YOU with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength and with all my mind.  Help me to love my neighbour as myself.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
