The ten commandments are about love...

[Neogaia777]

If you examine the ten commandments closely, you will see that they are based on, and hang upon the two commandments Jesus Spoke of: "Love God with your heart, soul, entire being, and love you neighbor as well as yourself."

Well, the first four commandments are about loving and repecting and about putting the true God first in your heart, they are:

1. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it Holy.

All about what you should or shouldn't be doing, if you truly Love God with your whole heart, mind, soul, and your entire being.

The last six are about loving you neighbor as well as yourself.

5. Honor thy mother and father.
6. Thou shalt not kill
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
10. Thou shalt not covet.

If you think about it, if you really loved others in the form of respect if anything else, you would abide by these last six...

So Jesus was right about the ten commandments...

God Bless!

I agree. Love is the only way to fulfill the law.

Hi Neogaia777, there are multiple ways to look at the ten commandments. Love is a part of it, but certainly not all of it, and I'm reticent to digress from your original intent.

Dear Neogaia777. Thank you for explaining the Love, which is so very wonderfully portrayed in the ten commandments. I say this with love.
Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ. Merry Christmas to all Christian
brothers and sisters who read this.

Hello =)

I am so happy to come across this. Yesterday I put the signature in my avatar thing as Matthew 22 about Jesus and the two great commandments---about love.

Truly love is what God is about. To be a child of God is to love---love God first and foremost and to love your neighbor as yourself.

Thank you for starting this post =)

God bless =)
