The two most important commandments Love

The two most important commandments Love The two most important commandments? LOVEBy: Lara Velez love is more than 350 times in the Bible. I am sure that God is trying to tell us something. We begin our study with Matthew 22:37-38, and he answered: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the most important and first commandment. I'm sure we all heard this verse often in our Christian life. But we do it? How can we love God? Why should we love God? Let us make love, like God, today and tomorrow you will know why. How can you love? It 'very easy to Jesus in John 14:15, If you really love me, yes (obey) My commands. Easy as it seems .... seems a very difficult task .... or is it? Well, yes and no. If we take the floor to carry in our hearts and minds, it is easier, the Holy Spirit ... However, if we fill our minds with the world, ie, Soap Opera - the promotion of adultery, lust, impurity, adultery, lying, fraud, and many other sinners desires.I struggled with those same years. I not only do not see a ... a single channel. I would like to see a canal and another group. I was just six days and many different evening dramas. Finally I cut and I was convinced, that was pretty good. But, no, God wanted me to put it all down. My mind was so absorbed that unrealistic godless world. I did not want to let go. Of course I did not ... But without a fight. The enemy was in full attack mode, when I decided to submit to God (obey his commands). I kid you not my TV is only the moment, my video tape it if I can not put up, and the fund business ... E 'stato brutto. Do not leave me ... and are free! Entertainment magazines - which are full of rumors, false information, libel, wounding situations in life, and not our business anyway. This was another stronghold of my life. My favorite was in touch ... or how to call my husband, "in touch" with the devil. "LOL. Let me tell you, I loved these things. I have known that it was fraud on who and what they said, that one .... I'm sure there are a few of you who know exactly what I'm talking about. Guess what? God wanted to create. My flesh fought. Honestly, I still have to catch me. This store checkout are filled with them ... I try not too hard on them. I am happy to say that I no longer buy ... or even touch. Secular music - this is for the most provocative texts, in itself, and mundane principals.Don 't get me wrong. I am not saying that all non-Christians is sinful song. I say be careful what you E poll. The Bible says in Galatians 6:7 that reap what we sow. If we sow in our heads trash, we collect the garbage. If the search through the stations in search of a good song to listen ... Make sure it is good for the soul not your body. These examples are too many Christian women. They think I went too far ... I do not know what I'm talking about. Yes, I do. I know, because the word tells me so. I John 2:15 says, not love or love the world or things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love for the Father is not in him. For all those who are in the world - the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life or the stability of earthly things - these are not from the Father but from the world. And the world is passing away and disappears, and with it the desire for a ban, but which the will of God and bears his purpose in his life will remain forever. Why should we love him? I am sure that I would like an obvious answer. But, in my opinion, it is important that we truly understood the depth of the response. Why or why we should love God? Well, there are several answers to this question is answered, then, would be alive. But my best answer I can ... - He is incomparable. There is nobody like: II Samuel 7:22 says: You are so, O Lord, God, no one is like you, there is also a god, but ... No other religion has a God like ours. It is! - His ways are perfect. HE IS PERFECT: Psalm 18:30 says: What God, his way is perfect! - He is our rock and SHIELD: Psalm 18:30-31 says ... He is a shield for all those homes and their trust in him. For who is God except the Lord? Or that is the rock save our God? He says that right there ... flee if ... He will protect us. How many of us actually take refuge in him? - He is the Creator of all things: this is in Genesis 1. Isaiah 40:12, 22 and 26 as well as countless other ways. What other God created the universe? - E 'ETERNAL: Habakkuk 3:6 says: He and measured the earth, saw, and shook the nations, and the eteal mountains were scattered and the perpetual hills bowed deeply. His manner and his eteal bustle are old. - He is the only true and powerful sovereign: Revelation 15:3 says ... Powerful and marvelous are your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are your ways, or areas of sovereignty of age. Who sings for a while 'and feel his presence around you. - He is my strength and my song: When I am weak I know I can count on him my strength. Exodus 15:2 says: The Lord is my strength and my song .... Read this chapter only, for many reasons to love him. - He loved U. S. ONE: I John 4:19 says: We love him because he loved us first. - He is all-powerful (omnipotent): Jeremiah 32:17 says: Ah, Lord God! You see, you created the heavens and the earth from his great power and your outstretched arm! There is nothing too hard for you. - HE is omnipresent (always present): Read Psalm 139:7-12. He is always there ... He is always there. You are never alone. What are the other "God" can say that? - E 'omniscience (ALL knowledge): I John 3:20 says: ... He is in all our consciousness (heart), and he knows and understands everything, nothing is hidden from him. These are not? T even the tip of the iceberg ... It is not enough time or words to say all the reasons for the love of our God. He is the great I am the king of kings, the Lord of lords, Jehovah-jireh (my provider), Jehovah-Nissi (victory He reigns), Jehovah-shalom (peace my) God, heavenly Father, Abba ( Father), Holy, Loving, kind, gentle, patient, Worthy, well, charming ..... See what I mean? I was able to last forever. However, is another area of the "Why", which I would like to talk ... Its Oh goodness, yes, the Lord is good. I can think of countless situations in my life, where his kindness (which is the compassion, mercy and forgiveness) has taken me from the dark places. It must take some 'time to meditate on every day, the kindness that was shown to have in your life. No time? Yes it is. In the shower, go here and there, as we lay in bed, blow dry your hair, you have to cook dinner, while washing dishes, getting up first, then go to bed, and time. We say that we do not have time. "Yes, we do. You should always find time to reflect on the goodness of God and praise his holy name! The Bible has many writings about the goodness of God. " These are some of my favorites. Titus 3:4-6 ... when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior appeared to the people, he saved us, not because of any justice that we had done, but because of his compassion and mercy .. . Psalm 31:19 Oh how great is your goodness that there are, for those who fear, revere and adore you. Kindness that you have written, for those who trust and take refuge from the sons of men! Acts 14:17 But he must not overlook some testimony of himself, because he has given you a good and showed you, you have the goodness and the rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, meet your food with heart and joy . Psalm 145:7 - 9 They are more like a fountain of fame and wealth of his great goodness and sing according to the accuracy and justice. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and a lot of mercy and goodness. The Lord is good to all, and his offer of mercy in all his works, the whole of his creation. Psalm 86:5 for you, Lord, are good and ready to forgive our sins, to go completely and forever, and it is full of mercy and goodness for all those who are calling. And do not forget the Israelites in the book Exodus. They wandered through the desert for forty years ... Whining, complaining, ungrateful and disloyal. But our loving and merciful God to be fed every day, stay safe, and even prevented her from aging shoes! God is good! We must never forget his kindness. If we only think of his goodness in our lives, and the font ... we would have a little 'more peace. At the beginning of this study, we have given our foundation Scripture Matthew 22:37-38. It was Jesus says a lawyer for about two commandments. The first was what we discussed. Let me conclude this study with the second commandment that Jesus gave in Matthew 22:39, and the second is similar: love your neighbor as you can. I do not know about you ... but ... This is a very difficult task to do. It is not impossible. We must choose to love. Other Christians can be very difficult for the love ... for a variety of reasons, which I'm sure you know. But in the book of John, Jesus tells us why it is important to love one another. John 13:34-35 says: I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another [if love among yourselves]. Jesus does not only mean that our brothers and sisters in the Lord ... He is our enemy. In Matthew 5:44 Jesus said, ... Love your enemies and pray for those who follow you. But wait ... It goes even farther in Luke 6:27-28, I tell you, I feel now: Make a practice of loving your enemies, treat and (done well, to act nobly) those who hate and persecute you with hatred. Invoke blessings and pray for the happiness of those who curse you, implore the grace of God on those who abuse possible. Whew ... these are some pretty strong words. This is not an easy task. Let's go deeper ... What Is Love? I'm sure you've heard and / or read ... I Corinthians 13:4-8 - Love last long and is patient and kind, love is not envious nor boils with jealousy, has not and does not appear, even with pride. It is not futile, it is not rude and not unbecomingly. Love (God's love in the United States), rather than his rights or his way, because it is still looking for, is not sensitive or irritable or angry, it does not take account of the evil done to it [it is worth not suffered a wrong]. There is no pleasure in iniquity and injustice, but the pleasure, when the truth, and the first right. Love bears all things and all that comes after, is always ready to believe that the best from each person, their hopes are fadeless in all the circumstances, bearing everything [without weakening]. Love is never ... There is really nothing more I can add. God said, "what" love is deep. The next question is how ...? How can we love? In the first part of this study, we leaed that the Scriptures tell us that if we love God ... we keep his commandments. Well, this is one of his commandments. Of course, not just snap your fingers and suddenly have the kind of love in I Corinthians. It is, as over time we study and lea his word (the way). The word says that God is love in John 4:16. So if we have enough of God in our lives and spirits ... multiple love as He loves. Of course, what happens as we submit to Him our life and its will. Cultivate the "fruit" of love. We can not beat us if we fail. The enemy wants to love. We need to look. Make it a point to read I Corinthians 13, as often as possible. Achieve. and pray!
