2 things

Matthew 22

34
 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again.

35
 One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question:

      36 "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?"


  37 Jesus replied,

        "'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.'

             38
 This is the first and greatest commandment.

        39 A second is equally important:

            'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

        40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."


There you have it - the whole thing summed up in 4 words...

Love God, love people.

Sounds like a great tat to me!

I need to read this every day...


Hebrews 6

10
 For God is not unjust.

He will not forget how hard you have worked for him

     and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers,

     as you still do.

11 Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts,

     in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.

12
 Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent.

Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God's promises because of their faith and endurance.
