Is Love The Commandment?

Today’s Feast March 6, 2015 – Matthew 22 Is Love The Commandment? “5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.“ Deuteronomy 6:5, New King James Version (NKJV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in Matthew Chapter 22; “The parable of the marriage feast. (1-14) The Pharisees question Jesus as to the tribute. (15-22) The question of the Sadducees as to the resurrection. (23-33) The substance of the commandments. (34-40) Jesus questions the Pharisees. (41-46)“ - Matthew Henry Concise. In this Scripture is we see Jesus teaching about the greatest commandment; “36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment.“ Matthew 22:36-38 NKJV. Now I see, Jesus has shared a basic truth about faith. You can see how important it is to focus on our relationship as we Feast on God’s Word. If we just read about God but don’t know him we couldn’t love him with all our heart. By the same token keeping the first thing first. That’s salvation the gift of God, forgiveness of sin. Life more abundantly everlasting goodness. How could we understand God’s love and the importance of carrying the message to our neighbors without love? God isn’t willing that any should parish, if we know him personally we will carry his message wherever we go to all we become neighbors with. At work, the ball game or at the church meeting whomever we can talk to. Let our conversation be full of truth and love, let them see God’s love in you;“15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."” 1 Peter 1:15-16 NKJV. Now we can share our faith just by the way we conduct ourselves. If you really love your neighbor share good news not bragging, gossip or hate. If you conduct yourself in a holy manner, you will love your neighbor as yourself; “39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."” Matthew 22:39-40 NKJV. We are in the relationship with God therefore we are not willing that any should parish!
