Which is the great commandment in the law?
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. New Testament: Matthew Chap. 22, Verses #37-#39.
OLD TESTAMENT: Deuteronomy Chap. 6, Verse #5. And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
OLD TESTAMENT: Leviticus Chap. 19, Verse #18. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.
NEW TESTAMENT: 1st. John Chap. 4, Verse #8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Dear Friend,
We should, each one of us, each day try to improve ourselves; we should forgive those we meet each day their mistakes and compliment there greatness. When each one of us start on this road to greatness we will then understand total Peace and Joy. This does not start with the other person, it starts with me.
When you can Love God and your Neighbour as Jesus quoted to the lawyer, then you have pretty well covered the Ten Commandments God gave Mosses!
Such as, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." If a man love God, you will not require to tell him that. Love is the fulfilling of that law.
"Take not His name in vain." Would he ever dream of taking His name in vain if he loved Him?
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." Would he not be too glad to have one day in seven to dedicate more exclusively to the object of his affection?
Love would fulfill all these laws regarding God.
And so, if he loved Man you would never think of telling him to honor his father and mother. He could not do anything else.
It would be preposterous to tell him not to kill.
You could only insult him if you suggested that he should not steal --- how could he steal from those he loved?
It would be superfluous to beg him not to bear false witness against his neighbor. If he loved him it would be the last thing he would do.
And you would never dream of urging him not to covet what his neighbors had. He would rather they possessed it than himself.
In this way "Love is the fulfilling the law." It is the rule for fulfilling all rules, the new commandment for keeping all the old commandments, Christ's one secret of the Christian life. .
