Love God With Your Entire Being. Love Your Fellow Man As Yourself.

If love is not rooted first in our love of God, then we cannot even begin to hope in loving our fellow man.

Romans 13:8/10

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

• The simplicity of the Law is fulfilled in this: That we love God with our entire being FIRST AND FOREMOST, and then we can love our fellow man as ourselves. This is not some egotistical love of self as the world portrays, but seeking to do good to your fellow man for the glory of God, and showing a selfless and truthful love that first comes from God and His Word, telling the truth, showing it and treating your fellow man, your neighbor, with the same kindness, respect, love and honor that you also desire to be shown upon yourself.

• Because the simplicity of love is found only through God, His Word, His Son and His Holy Spirit, we can be sure that the world will try to manipulate and conform what ‘love’ actually means. The pure and undefiled design of love that God has created literally comes from His character, and it is not separated from Him into some other ‘feeling’ or ‘thing’ (1^st John 4:7/11).

• If you cannot love your fellow man as yourself, it will ultimately be due to the reality that you do not love God. Sadly, there are multitudes of professing Christians today who profess Jesus with their mouths, but do not show any fruit, any proof that they follow the Lord in which they profess, and scarily enough, this is because they have either been taught a conformed Jesus (2^nd Corinthians 11:3/4), or they have conformed Jesus into their own image and likeness, which will ultimately end in the result of following the antichrist.
