Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“This is the first and great commandment.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The greatest commandment Jesus gave us under the new covenant is love.

God is love and apart from love, there is no God.

The love Jesus is talking about is the kind of love that speaks and portrays His image.

Everything that God did is love, He came to save us because He is love, He restored us as children of God because He is love.

There is nothing that God did or create that is outside of love simply because everything that was created came out of Him who is love.

This command to love Him is the most important thing in life because that’s who we are as children of God.

We are love, we are His image and likeness. Therefore, the call to love is to live out our true nature in God.

God is simply calling his children to imitate Him and do just like He did. He loved us unconditionally.

All the law is fulfilled when someone walks in love as Christ walked on the earth.

This is a call for all believers to come back to our original self, come back to our true nature and that is to live in love.

We become what we truly love. To love God is to train ourselves to be just like Him.

Therefore, to love God and seek Him should be our first priority in life.

Everything that is of God flows out from love that holds our faith and hope together.

Let us keep loving God so that we will keep shining Him to the world.

Blessings
