PENnED

Read: Matthew 22:34-39

We are to love God with our whole being–‘all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ But Jesus did not stop with the first and greatest. Why? Because you cannot have one without the other!

To love God is to love neighbor. 1 John 4:20 reads, “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” Neighbor is anyone, but especially one in need.

If you love God, you must love your neighbor as well.
