The Commandment Of Love #2

 The commandment of love

 Church folks will tell you with the quickness how much they love God, but if you ask them what about your neighbor it's a different story, in TX. they say that dog won't hunt. Jesus said in:
(Mk:12,29-31)
  • v-29 The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel the Lord our God is one Lord.
  • v-30 Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all the heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
  • v-31 And the second is like namely this, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself . There is none other commandment greater than these
This is nothing new, Jesus was confirming what was spoken to Israel after they came out of Egypt.
Lev:19,16-19 The commandments are the stander the Lord set for all man kind to live by
Rom:13,8-9  He said it again
  • v-8 Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
  • v-9 For this thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not kill, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not bear false witness, Thou shall not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thy self.
  • v-10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Notice Paul went right to the Ten Commandments; you can't go around them, they are spiritual they are forever. Ps:111,7-10.
Rom:7-12 Wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy, and just, and good
         v-14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal sold under sin.
 .
Through out the old and new testament the Lord remind us of the importance of keeping his commandments.
Deut:4,7-8, 13
  • v-6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these ststues, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
  • v-7 For what nation is there so great ,who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
  • v-8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statues and judgements so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day.
  • v-13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stones,
All over the book the Lord hath declared his Ten Commandments. Let us be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove, proving all things, holding fast to that which is good. 1Thess:5-21.
Ecc:12-13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

https://thecommandmentoflove.blogspot.com/   “Faith Worketh By Love” Covenant is birthed out of love and consist of two or more people. Just for observation sake:  Matt:26,26-28 this was a shadow of the covenant he would cut when he took his blood to heaven to be excepted by the Father. The blood covenant cut between God and God. Church folks love to say how much they love God, but if you ask them what about your neighbor it's a different story, in Tx. they say that dog won't hunt. In the bible Jesus said (Mk: 12, 29-31) V-29 the first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel the Lord our God is one Lord. V-30 Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all the heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

The Commandment of Love #1

  The Commandment To Love #1 {Jn:13-34} Jesus gave the commandment to love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. He was very definitive to his disciples when he made that command. New testament Christians don't keep the law because they say we are under the new commandment to love one another as Jesus loved us. When Jesus gave that commandment to love, he didn't do away with keeping the Ten Commandments. How do I know this? In {Jn:14-15} he says if you love me keep my commandments . For you to have the ability to love one another, God's love must be in you: for God is love. His word must abide in you and through his word we can love our neighbor as Jesus loved us. Jesus acted on the word of the Father that was in him. Here is an example of the Ten Commandments yet in force in the New Covenant. {Matt:19,16-19} 16  And, behold, one came and said unt...

Some still have questions about who is my neighbor? Another lesson from Jesus about who is my neighbor;   Lk:10,25-37  25  And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26  He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27  And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29  But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30  And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31  And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he pas...
