The Greatest Commandment

1Jn 3:21  Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 

1Jn 3:22  and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 

1Jn 3:23  And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 

1Jn 3:24  Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.


First, we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ.  Through Jesus our sins are forgiven and we are become children of God. God answers our prayers. What after this is the most important commandment?


Mat 22:36  “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 

Mat 22:37  And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 

Mat 22:38  This is the great and first commandment. 

Mat 22:39  And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 

Mat 22:40  On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
