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). 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
