Father, Son and Us

GUWG-HeartWe continue our journey into every word spoken by Jesus in the Gospels to help us all KNOW JESUS MORE NOW.

Do What Jesus Says

GUWG-Love-One-AnotherWe continue our journey through every word spoken by Jesus in the Gospels to help us all KNOW JESUS MORE NOW.

For the past several weeks we’ve been attempting to answer the question What exactly are Christians supposed to do? by looking at 50 commands straight from the mouth of Jesus.

We began with Jesus’ Big 2 Commands:

  1. Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
  2. Love your neighbor as yourself.

As Jesus said, “There is no commandment greater than these” and “all the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 12:28-34)

Below is a handy list of the 50 commands we covered that show what it reeeeeally means to love God and others. Print it out. Mediate on it. Marinate in it. Memorize it. And then ask the Holy Spirit to help you DO it.
