God's Call To Follow Him With Our All -Matthew 22: 36-40

Man has sought to make God smile always thinking they are able this to do but God requires perfection absolute so His followers need to be born anew The first commandment calls us to follow God's son Jesus with all in our being for the Lord won't accept anything less the great creator's well worth agreeing But in one sense there's another challenge God's second law calls for neighbourly love our neighbourhood knows no boundary we must show real love from above This love demands a love of self be displayed upon all bar none who can do such a thing? anyone! only God's spirit empowers such a one These two commands need one twice-born to achieve the desired effect God inspired from heaven above comes divine power bringing action upon those God has fired (Matthew 22:36-40 'Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.')

Hi Gordon, another excellent write from your pen. I do hope one thing, that God does not wish perfection absolute, if so, i am in trouble. To get back to being serious now. God knows how hard it is for us to follow his commandments, but he knows those who truly try. God is ever with us, ready to help us along our way. Love the content Gordon. Have a wonderful weekend. your friend always....Mike.

Thanks Mike, glad you were impressed and also for your continual encouragement. Yes God does ask for perfect but provides us with Jesus perfect righteousness gifted to us so we can be accepted in Christ. Blessings my friend, Gordon
