THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS
MATTHEW 22:36-39
36 “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in Moses’ Teachings?”
37 Jesus answered him, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and most important commandment. 39 The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’
IF WE CAN MASTER THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO HEAVEN, THINK ABOUT IT.
