Loving God and Loving People

 


 Matthew 22:37-39 "Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’["

In Matthew 22, the religious leaders try to trap Jesus with a question: “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” Their goal was to undermine Him, but Jesus responds effortlessly, stating, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the great and first commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39 ESV).

This powerful answer not only validates Jesus’ authority but emphasizes that loving God and loving others are the foundations of a believer's life. It’s not about being right or acquiring wealth, but about love—first for God and then for people.

To love others well, we must devote ourselves to God’s love. We can grow in this relationship by spending time in His Word, having honest conversations with Him, and reflecting on His character. As our love for God deepens, so too will our compassion for others.

The great news is that God loves you deeply and invites you to experience His love today.

❤️❤️❤️

Prayer:

Dear Abba Father God, my greatest treasure lies in my love for You. Your boundless and unconditional love fills my heart and empowers me to extend that same love to those around me. I am deeply grateful, Father God, for the profound assurance that nothing in this world can ever come between us or diminish the connection we share through Your Son, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. His sacrifice has made it possible for me to experience Your love fully. Thank You for this incredible gift of love and grace. Amen.

John 6:35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Jesus replied, “I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God’s kingdom!”
Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life. God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only Son so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really die.  God did not send His Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent Him to save them!
(John 3:3;15-17 CEV)
So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. (Romans 10:9 CEV)

THANK GOD. Christ Brings Real-Life

You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following Him.  Plant your roots in Christ and let Him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful.
(Colossians 2:6-7 CEV)
My friends, I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you! (Galatians 6:18 CEV)Finally, let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong. (Ephesians 6:10 CEV)
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

       God Bless You

Friends, be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble.  You know you learn to endure by having your faith tested.  But you must learn to endure everything, so you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything. (James 1:2-4)

The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. (Psalm 34:10) ❤️❤️❤️

 I pray that God, who gives hope, will bless you with complete happiness and peace because of your faith. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope. (Romans 15:13 CEV)
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,  for our “God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:28-29)
