Great Commandment
Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ “The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:29–31
We are commanded to love: The purpose of every Christ-follower is to practice obeying His greatest commandment by living a life of genuine all-consuming love for God and people.
