Living the Great Commandment
Action Steps
Matthew: 22:37 Jesus replied: love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”
• Put God first, focus our thoughts and lives on Him. This means constantly calling our attention to God throughout the day, despite our many activities and whatever may be calling our attention.
• If we make promises to God remember to keep them and show our obedience to Him.
• Reach out to others and find ways to serve.
• Speak to others about Him; share what He has done for us.
I Thessalonians 5:17 St. Paul says, “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
• Take time to pray, meditate, commune with God and then listen for His voice and seek His guidance and direction.
Matthew 22:39 Jesus states: “…Love your neighbor as yourself…”
• In whatever small or large ways, we should humble ourselves and serve others.
• Serve the community.
• Once again, live for the sake of others.
Communicate with those you may have an issue with.
Fellowship with the Brethren
• Worship God by attending church.
• Tithing
• Giving time and sharing talents and skills
Create a Christ Centered-Christ Like Life
• The goal of every faithful person should be to live a Christ-like life.
• Identify one’s spiritual weaknesses and begin to root them out by prayer, study and service.
• Live, love and serve to create a journey of peace, joy and happiness in communion with God, Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
Remember, love God with all your heart and soul, and love your neighbor as you love God.
