The Greatest Commandment!

Mark 12:28 NET Now one of the experts in the law came and heard them
debating. When he saw that Jesus answered them
well, he asked him,
The Greatest The Greatest CommandmentCommandment
"Which commandment is the most important of
all?" 29 Jesus answered, "The most important is: 'Listen, Israel, the Lord
our God, the Lord is one.

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with
all your strength.'

yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

there is no one else besides him.

thoughtfully, he said to him, "You are not far from
the kingdom of God." Then no one dared any longer to question him.

1 John 4:19 NET We love because he loved us first. 20 If anyone says "I love God" and yet hates his
fellow Christian, he is a liar,

because the one who does not love his fellow
Christian whom he has seen cannot love God
whom he has not seen.

21 And the commandment we have from him is this:
that the one who loves God should love his
fellow Christian too.
