The Two Greatest Commandments

In Matthew 22:36-40 Jesus states “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. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Love is such a powerful word that if we’re honest is sometimes thrown around too loosely. It is only because God first loved us that we are able to extend love to others and all that we do should flow from that foundation of God’s love. It is stated in the Bible that the world will know we are Jesus’s disciples by how we love one another. In this episode I will dive into Matthew 22:36-40 along with supporting verses to take a deeper look at what it means to love God and love your neighbor. It is so easy to say that we love God and our neighbor, but are we living a life that supports that statement?
