You shall love the Lord Your God :)

Matthew 22:37-40

37 Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.

Whoever says that the 10 commandments are no longer applicable to the New Testament obviously did not see Jesus' reference to the 10 Commandments.

While the grace messages have quite a few valid points, some fail to realize that the Law still applies and that the Law is actually about Love and not bondage.

The Law (10 commandments) can be summed up as:

1) Loving God

2) Loving others

Too often, the emphasis is about God loving us. Kinda self-centred.

Is it not time we start loving Him and others inspite of the circumstances and how others treat us?
