“Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”” Matthew 22:35-40
We believe that we, as Christians, should follow the Lord’s commandments in loving God (the first four commandments) and loving others (the last six commandments). The law is now written on our hearts and in our minds and because of that, our actions should reflect the character of the living God as we are under the New Covenant.
