In Mark 12, a scribe approaches Jesus to ask a seemingly unanswerable question: Of all God’s commandments, which is the greatest?
Christ’s reply is short and to the point, referencing Deuteronomy 6:4–5: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” and adding: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:29–31).
But what does it mean to love God and our neighbor as the Lord describes?
After all, if these commands truly do form the foundation for “all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:40), then we need to get them right.
Starting with what the Bible means when it calls us to love, in this study we will take those concepts and apply them to understanding how we are to love God and our neighbor with the goal of learning to do both more reliably and in accordance with his will.
