You Shall Love


Matthew 22:36-40 NASB
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And He said to him, “ ‘ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.

The two great commandments given by Jesus both start with, "You shall love".
Any conversations about God and others should issue forth from this bedrock of truth for the disciple of Jesus. It is His love that answers the question, "why?".
