7 Matthew 22:36-40 "Rabbi, which of the mitzvot in the Torah is the most important? He told him, "`You are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. This is the greatest and most important mitzvah. And a second is similar to it, `You are to love your neighbor as yourself. All of the Torah and the Prophets are dependent on these two mitzvot." 1 John 4:10-11 Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah for our sins. Beloved friends, if this is how God loved us, we likewise ought to love one another. 1 John 5:1-2 Everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Messiah has God as his father, and everyone who loves a father loves his offspring too. Here is how we know that we love God's children: when we love God, we also do what he commands. Shabbat-Let Love Rule (Part 2) Rabbi Greg Hershberg 7

"Always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that sums up the teaching of the Torah and the Prophets. John 13:34 "I am giving you a new command: that you keep on loving each other.

10 Romans 5:6-8 For while we were still helpless, at the right time, the Messiah died on behalf of ungodly people. Now it is a rare event when someone gives up his life even for the sake of somebody righteous, although possibly for a truly good person one might have the courage to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in that the Messiah died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
