“The Greatest Commandment”

Jesus replied: “Hear, O Israel: ‘The Lord our God, the Lord is one.’

‘Love the Lord your God with all your Heart and with all your Soul, with all your Mind and all your strength.’ This is the First and Greatest Commandment.

The second is like it: ‘Love your Neighbor as Yourself.’
All the Law and the Prophets Hang on these Two Commandments.”

Cf. Deuteronomy 6:1-9, Matthew 22:36-40, Mark 12:28-34, Luke 10:25-37

“The God who made the world and everything
in it is the Lord of heaven and earth. 

From one man he made all the nations.
In him we live and move and have our being,’
‘We are his offspring.’

God commands all people everywhere to repent. (Say Sorry)
For he has set a day when he will judge the world
with justice by the man he has appointed.

He has given proof
of this to everyone by
raising him from the dead.”
Cf. Acts 17:24-31

God’s Love for the World

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned
already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

This is the verdict:
Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. John 3:16-21 – Jesus Christ

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans 10:9-13 – Apostle Paul

It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:
You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from
sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Cf. Acts 15:28-29

The grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
Cf. Titus 2:11-14

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9

“The Lord knows those who are his,” and,
“Everyone who confesses the Name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
Cf. 2 Timothy 2:19
– Apostle Paul
