The Two Most Important Commandments - Love
Love is mentioned well over 350 times in the Bible. I'm sure God must be trying to tell us something. We will start our study with Matthew 22:37-38; And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the most important and first commandment.

What Does Jesus Expect?
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. --ROMANS 5:8
Expectations create conditional love. “I love you, but I’ll love you more if.” Now I know what you’re thinking. Shouldn’t we expect the best out of one another? Shouldn’t we encourage each other to strive for excellence and never settle for anything else? Absolutely. But it was Christ who taught us how to use expectations. Does He demand a lot? You better believe it. Does He expect much? Only our best. Does He have expectations? Just that we leave everything, deny all, and follow Him. The difference? Jesus’ expectations were accompanied by forgiveness and acceptance.

Can you even imagine that?

If we don't take the necessary steps to healing, we become vulnerable for more serious complications to arise. This is also true among the church of believers. As a true Christian we must counterattack a
brethren who is falling ill and needs spiritual medicine for healing. How can you recognize a sickness?

Recognizing Self
Life is never about yourself, neither is it about anyone else. Everyday you come face to face with another part of you in another body. The separation is just an illusion and in truth you are just interacting with yourself. You are alone in a world filled with images of yourself trying to figure out just who you are.
