The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante... -
If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

The Greatest Commandment
-
One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him. 'Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?' Jesus said to him, ' 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.' Matthew 22:35'40 WEB.
Many people I talk with or invite to a Church service will not come because they feel something is wrong in their life. They tell me they want to get things fixed in their life first, and then they will come to Church. We often hear, 'We need to get our house in order first.' Of course, decades pass, and the devil sees that those things will never be right in their lives. Things usually get worse.
The truth is, you will never make yourself good enough for God. That is why He sent His son Jesus to bear our sins on the cross. Now His door is wide open, and He says, 'Come just as you are, and I will help you.' He took away the obstacles and excuses.
There are said to be about 613 commandments in the Bible. But when they asked Jesus about the greatest commandment, He replied with only two: 'Love God' and 'Love your neighbor.' If you fully obeyed these two commandments, you would not have to worry about the others, for they would be covered. It would eliminate stealing, adultery, murder, idols, and much more. Obeying just these two commandments would completely change the world we live in.
So let us stop being stalled on commandment 572 and focus on getting the first two right! Sometimes we get so sidetracked that we miss the simplicity of the Gospel, the Good News. Come to God now, just as you are. If He has a problem with you, His Holy Spirit will convict you one thing at a time and give you the grace to change it. Love God, love your neighbor, for those are the greatest commandments.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please fill me with Your love for others. Let me see them through Your eyes. You made each one of us, and You don't make mistakes. I love You. Please love through me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
