RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love
the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment."
1) Believers will love God.
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6:5
2) Believers will sincerely love Jesus Christ and
obtain grace.
Ephesians 6:24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus
Christ in sincerity. Amen.
3) People who do not love Jesus Christ are accursed of God.
1 Corinthians 16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ,
let him be accursed.
4) Believers who love Jesus Christ are loved by God.
John 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he
who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I
will love him and manifest Myself to him."
RELATIONSHIP WITH MANKIND
Matthew 22:39 "And the second is like it: 'You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.'"
1) Believers are to share with others in
need.
1 John 3:17-18 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his
brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love
of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or
in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
2) Christians should show concern for others without
partiality.
Luke 10:33-37 "But a certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came
where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. So he went to
him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him
on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them
to the innkeeper, and said to him, 'Take care of him; and whatever more
you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.' So which of these
three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?" And
he said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
3) Helping others is the same as serving Jesus.
Matthew 25:34-36 "Then the King will say to those on His right
hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you
gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger
and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and
you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'"
4) Believers will love God and others.
And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves
God must love his brother also. 1 John 4:21
