The First Commandment That Jesus Taught
“These two commandments, taken together, form the core of the Christian religion.”
Matthew 22:35-40 | Mark 12:30 | Luke 10:27 | Deuteronomy 6:4-5
Matthew 22:35-40 | Mark 12:30 | Luke 10:27 | Deuteronomy 6:4-5
FIRST COMMANDMENT:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
SECOND COMMANDMENT:
Love your neighbour as yourself.
These are not just religious rules. They are a blueprint for a fulfilling life. When you love God completely, and love the people around you genuinely, everything else falls into place.
The Cornerstone — Jesus Christ — demonstrates both these commandments perfectly in his own life. By following Him, we learn to live the same way.
