36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

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.

Idolatry lies at the root of all sin, so love for God must be the most fundamental principle of the Law, from which all else is derived.

Now if I truly love God, then two things will follow: I will want to obey Him, and I will also love all those who bear His image. And so the ‘greatest commandment’ is not one commandment but two: love God and love your neighbour. You cannot fulfil the first without also fulfilling the second (I John 4:20,21). These two commandments underlie every other commandment in the Law. Together, they summarise all that God requires of us (Romans 13:8-10).

Amen.  Lord, we love You and may we be filled with your love for others.    We may not always agree with others but may we still love them.
