What Jesus Asks of Us

What Jesus Asks Of Us…

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

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

The law, the prophets hang
 on these commands.
God loves you!  He doesn’t
 Make “impossible” demands.

His death on the cross and
the life he gave…
He wants our love for him
 in how we behave.

He created us to have a
  relationship with him.
That we may know what
 It means to be “born again.”

Reading his word will give us
 wisdom in what’s asked…
This will give us a desire to 
obey him that will last.

Let’s wholeheartedly serve him now!
Our lives…  He’ll restore!
Living for Jesus…  Who could ask
 for anything more?
