“Then one of the scribes (expert in Mosaic Law) came up
and listened to them arguing with one another, and noticing that Jesus answered
them well, asked Him, ‘Which commandment is first and most important of
all?’
“Jesus answered, ‘The first and most important one
is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is
one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with
all your soul/ life, and with all your mind (thought, understanding), and with
all your strength.’
“’This is the second: ‘You shall unselfishly love your
neighbour as yourself.’ There is no
other commandment greater than these.’” Mark 12:28-31
Once you give your life to Christ, you typically find you
want to do something from your grateful heart, so what are ways to live your
new life in Christ? Here are seven
basics:
1. Be
ye holy; for I am holy.
2. Pray
without ceasing.
3. Search
the Scriptures
4. Not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together for worship.
5. Ye
shall be witnesses unto me.
6. Give,
and it shall be given unto you.
7. Share
your personal experience of becoming a follower of Christ
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still
prays for you each day)
