TWO PRIORITIES

Loving God and loving our neighbor is God's will for all of us. (To do so is the fulfillment of the Old Testament Law). These priorities were emphasized by the Great Commission when Jesus told His followers to go make disciples and baptize them and teach them to observe everything He commanded. MATTHEW 28:19-20

MATTHEW 7:12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
(LUKE 6:31)
MATTHEW 22:35-40 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
Jesus said to him, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it: 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

ROMANS 13:8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

ROMANS 13:9-10 For the commandments, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," "YOU SHALL NOT MURDER," "YOU SHALL NOT STEAL," "YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS," "YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Our Mission Statement, "To know God and make Him known, to this generation and beyond, in real time,"
is based on the priorities of loving God - to know Him is to love Him - and making Him known, to do so requires us to love our neighbor as ourself.

Jesus raised the level of this second command when He said, "A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." JOHN 13:34
