The Greatest Law

Matthew 22:35-40

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

It seems the lawyers are always challenging this.  Life would be so much easier for everyone in this universe if everyone just followed these simple laws.  Our Savior Jesus the Christ was not saying the law of Moses is no longer valid, he was saying the law of Moses is these two laws.

Love God:  This covers every law that talks about God.  His name is sacred, His law is sacred, His day is sacred and His love is sacred.  Remember He is our Father, He wants what's best for us.  He know us before he formed us in the belly.  Christ came to this world to show us His love and all he asks for in return is to love Him and obey His law.

Love thy Neighbor:  This covers every other law in the Bible.  If you love your neighbor you have no desire to steal, covet, harm, lie or otherwise cause harm to your neighbor.

I find inspiration in this scripture every day.  My goal in this life is to experience Love.  I feel the love of God in my life.  I experience the love of my family and friends and return that love unconditionally.  It is important for me to live my life centered on the gospel of Love.  This is what has inspired me today.
