THE MOST IMPORTANT TEACHING OF JESUS!

Matthew 22:37-40 - Jesus said unto 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 first and great commandment.  And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbor as (you love) yourself.  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.  

[Note:  In other words, all men are sinners, falling short of God's standards!]

THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW!

Galatians 3:21-26 - Is the Law then against the promises of God?  God forbid:  for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the Law.  But the Scripture has concluded (that) all under (are guilty of) sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.  But before faith came, we were kept under the Law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.  Wherefore the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.  But after faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.  For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

BELIEVERS ARE NOT SAVED BY THE LAW, BUT

THEY ARE IDENTIFIED BY A NEW COMMANDMENT!

John 13:34-35 - A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you have love one to another.

Matthew 7:15-16; Galatians 5:22-23 -  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  You shall know them by their fruit - - - the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:  against such there is no law.

THE MOST IGNORED TEACHING OF JESUS 

IN THE CHURCH TODAY!

Matthew 5:43-44 - You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully (spitefully; disrespectfully) use you, and persecute you.

JESUS PRACTICED WHAT HE PREACHED!

Luke 23:33-34 - And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors (criminals), one on the right hand, and the other on the left.  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them (those who are crucifying Me); for they know not what they do.

Romans 5:5-8 - For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  For scarcely (rarely) for a righteous man will one die:  yet peradventure (there might still be a possibility) for a good man some would even dare to die.  But God commended (demonstrated) His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners (not righteous; not good), Christ died for us.
