A question for you to answer
Jesus was asked,
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: " ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.'
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40.
Jesus here is echoing Deuteronomy. A portion of scripture repeated twice daily by faithful Jews. It reads
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.
Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 6:5-7.
It signifies total commitment to God and ones duty to follow all of Gods commands.
Thus my question to you. If you claim to be a true follower of Christ Jesus. A true believer in God; Are you truly serving God with your heart, soul and strength?
Please think about it.
