God's Laws are easy...only 2!! Are you listening??

Good morning everyone!! what a great day to be alive in Jesus. Isn't God grand....a great day at worship yesterday, good fellowship, good feelings. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
We have a tendency to make God's laws and being a Christian list of DON'Ts. Is being a Christen really a bunch of don'ts?? Jesus came to earth, in human form, for you, for me, and in Mark 12:29-31 He made it real clear....read...."Jesus replied, "THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT IS THIS:'LISTEN O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS THE ONE AND ONLY LORD. AND YOU MUST LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, ALL YOUR SOUL, ALL YOUR MIND, AND ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' THE SECOND IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT: 'LOVE YOU NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' NO OTHER COMMANDMENT IS GREATER THAN THESE."
God's laws, pretty simple, down to two principles: Love God and Love others. These are also in Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18...uh..Old Testament, there is no difference. God is constant. When you love God completely and care for others as you care for yourself, then you have fulfilled in intent of the Ten Commandments and the other Old Testament Laws.
May we let these two laws rule our thoughts, decisions, and actions. When in doubt....don't punt....just ask yourself what would best show our love for God and love for others. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
