Love the Lord Your God

Love the Lord Your God!

“Love your God with your 
heart, soul and mind.”
The is the first great
 commandment you’ll find.

“Love your neighbor as yourself,”
 is number two .
These commands are what’s
 asked of me and you.

The law, the prophets hang
 on these commands.
God loves us!  He makes no
 harsh demands.

His death on the cross…
the life he gave.
He wants your love for him and
 your neighbor, in how you behave.

He created you to have a
 special relationship with him.
He doesn’t want you to by
 unforgiven sin.

Reading his word will give you
 wisdom in every task.
This will give you a desire to 
obey him that will last.

Obeying his commands,
Will bless you more!
Obeying Jesus… Who could ask
 for anything more?
