37 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.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.
What part of that is difficult to understand?
Jesus said,
"On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets."
These TWO commandments are:
1. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."
2. "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
If you were to read the Bible, you'd see GOD's history of love, wrath, man's disobedience, the fallen one's rebellion, and the prophecies on JESUS.
On and on, the prophets called us to LOVE the LORD.
On and on, humans tried, did, forgot, and tried again.
Mostly, we forget.
Mostly, we are beholden to the world.
That's why I love being born again.
Only then could I really understand the simplicity of GOD's commandments, through JESUS.
Those two commandments ought to serve as our spiritual foundation.
Make special note of what JESUS said on those verses:
Matthew 22:37-38 (KJV)
37 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.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
The "first and great commandment", WOW!
It's always been about LOVING GOD.
Really very simple, and easy, to understand.
That one commandment alone is sufficient to meditate upon.
And if you're born again, watch how the HOLY SPIRIT will make things even clearer for you!
