The Greatest Rule Is Love

The greatest rule of The Bible is LOVE - love God and love others, as it is written (Matthew 22:34-40, NIV):
  1. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
  2. "Love your neighbour as yourself."
What does it mean to love?
  • This is what we have to learn.
  • Love is when you seek to benefit others instead of yourself.
  • We have to change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal.
  • We have to change from seeking to benefit ourselves to seeking to benefit others.
  • We have to change from self-love to love of others.
  • We have to rise above our egos, stop harming others, then seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
  • Love is about connection with others.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
