JESUS ANSWER
There is Hope for the world
Matthew 22:37. Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38. This is the first and great commandment.
39. And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
If somehow God’s church could spread these four verses of scripture we could greatly change the violence which prevails in our world.
If people who claim to be Christians would live by these two commandments which Jesus gave us we could change the world.
Everybody is busy today trying to solve the problems of the world. Crime, murder, theft, racial problems, wars, gangs, dope, and any other problems you can think of could be solved by these two simple commandments.
Now I am not foolish enough to think that all the people are just going to read this article and decide to change their ways, however I am convinced that if people who claim to be Christians would follow these two commandments they could completely change the world.
Jews, Muslims, even atheists cannot argue with loving your neighbor. That one thing in itself would certainly change our world.
Love God, Love people is so simple, yet today we have trouble just loving our close friends.
One other scripture tells me that we as Christians can change the world.
II Chronicles 7:14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Are you a Christian? Are you living by the two commandments that Jesus said His people should live by? Are you His disciple? Can you meet His criteria?
John 13:35. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.
Jesus had the answer to the world’s problems two thousand years ago and it is still the answer,
Love is the answer.
