Bible Verse
“He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” – Luke 10:27
Meaning
This verse, Luke 10:27, is a response to a question asked by a lawyer about the key to inherit eternal life. Jesus directed him to what was written in the law, and he rightly quoted Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. This verse encompasses the greatest commandments of all; man’s total dedication to God and genuine love for fellow humans.
First, we are called to love God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind. This means devoting every aspect of our being to Him, surrendering our desires, thoughts, and actions to His will. The commandment is all inclusive – no part of our life is exempt from loving and serving God.
Secondly, we are commanded to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Jesus used this to highlight that our care for others is as important as our commitment to God.
Actions to Take
- Devote specific time each day to strengthen your relationship with God through prayer, worship, and studying His word.
- Strive to see and love others as God does, practicing kindness and empathy in your everyday interactions.
- Engage in selfless acts towards your neighbors, such as volunteering or offering a helping hand when necessary.
- Show love to yourself, by maintaining healthy self-esteem and positivism, which will inevitably reflect on your actions towards others.
- Practice forgiveness and let go of grudges.
