7. The most important one is this: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” –Mark 12:29-31
(Jesus explained that all the commandments can be summed up into one: love your neighbor. So if you’re looking for practical ways to love your neighbor, consider the commandants, and Jesus’ interpretation of the commandments in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 through 7.)
8. Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone. –John 8:7
(Jesus reminds us we’re all sinners. It’s so easy to look at the sins of others and forget our own, but when the people brought him the adulterous woman, he showed her mercy and grace, just as we receive from him daily. Remembering his grace and mercy for us can help us to show the same to others in love.)
9. If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. –Matthew 19:21
(Many times we don’t choose to love others or God because we are in self-preservation mode. We forget that our treasures are in heaven, not on earth. When we remember where our hope is and where our treasures are, we can open our hands to love others and to God in loving submission.)
10. And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time. –Matthew 28:20
(Jesus is with you because of God sent Him in His great love for you. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, He’s got you; so loosen up your grip and share His love with others.)
