Do You Know the Commandments and Law of Love?

   A Pharisees and an expert in the law, who keep the Ten Commandments so important asked Jesus, "what is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

   Jesus replied it is the Ten Commandments. Then they understood and know it is so true that they keep silent. 

   (Mat. 22, Mar. 12, Luk. 10)

   Here in detail:

   Jesus answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and strength. That is the first and greatest commandment. "

   Then He added, "The second is love your neighbours as you love yourself," and He added again, "All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments."

   Now the question is:

   How will you love God, the Lord your God? 

   LIKE THIS:

   1. You will have no other gods. 

   2. You will not bow down before idols. 

   3. You will not simply take the name of the Lord your God. 

   4. You will keep the Sabbath (Saturday) holy, the rest day of God. 

   How will you love your neighbour as yourself? 

   LIKE THIS:

   5. You will honour your mother and father.  

   6. You will not murder. 

   7. You will not steal. 

   8. You will not commit adultry. 

   9. You will not be a false witness against your neighbour. 

   10. You will not covet. 

    So, the Ten Commandments (written on Exodus 20) are the Commandments of Love and the Law of Love as there are Two love commandments in It. They are about how to love God and neighbours. These two are the greatest, first and second commandments which Jesus has said. 

   Therefore, brothers and sisters ask yourself whether or not you love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and strength and your neighbour as you love yourself.

   It's not hard to follow the Law of Love, right?
