The greatest command of God

 Love God. This command is given by Moses and then by Christ Jesus as the greatest command to keep. Love God then the commands of God will be yours to keep. God gives commands. If you love God you will keep these commands. Love towards God includes holding dear the commands of God such as love of your neighbour. Love towards God includes holding dear the commands of God and reminding yourself of them frequently and teaching them to your children and shouting them from your platform of choice, your voice to those around, near and far. Love God and you will love His Son Jesus Christ and this too means holding to Jesus’ teachings and teaching them to the next generation. It means loving people both of our own ethnicity and of other ethnicities, even those we are taught to despise. The Good Samaritan loved a victim of crime needing help even though this victim was of a race and ethnic culture which hated him. The Good Samaritan did not ignore the injuries but treated them simply and provided a safe place to recuperate using his own resources. This love overcomes extremist hatred. Overcoming is the goal of Jesus Christ’s commands. Love Jesus and God his Heavenly Father and obey their commands and they, Jesus and God, will visit you in your journey and make themselves known to you and become a part of your future acts of right living and lessons of right living forever. Resurrection is coming. Eternal life is in Jesus Christ who died for you and is resurrected by God and lives forever.
