The Two Most Important Tasks in Life
Out of the 613 commandments in the Old Testament, some religious leaders wanted to know which one that Jesus thought was the most important. Not only did Jesus provide His top two commandments, but He summarized them all and gave His followers a simple direction for all of life.

1. Love God
- Deuteronomy 6:4-9
- It is unreasonable to offer anything but an unrivaled devotion to God.
- If you don’t want a part-time Savior, then stop giving Him a halfway loyalty.
- True love for the Lord encompasses the entirety of one’s being and not just certain areas.
- Heart – the driving direction
- Soul – the spiritual self
- Mind – the mental faculties
- Strength – the external evidences
2. Love Others
- Leviticus 19:9-18
- You cannot truly love God if you do not love those created in His image.
- If you would love others the way you desire to be loved, your relationships wouldn’t suffer from your sin.
- God never grants us permission to pick and choose who deserves our love.
