2 Greatest Laws out of over 600 Laws in the Bible – Jesus told us in the Bible what the two greatest commandments, laws are.

2 Greatest Laws out of over 600 Laws in the Bible

This weeks Theological Tuesday is about the Greatest Laws. There are 613 Laws in the Bible. Jesus points out two of the laws as being the greatest. This was when a lawyer came to try to trick Jesus. The lawyer wanted to know what the greatest commandment, law is and how to have eternal life.

Jesus answered him telling that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind. Plus we are to love our neighbor as yourself. Which loving God is the greatest and foremost. Then the other is loving your neighbor as your self. By doing these two we will live. If love God, we will love what God loves.

Love is the greatest commandment, law!
