And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these (Mark 12:31).
How do you demonstrate that you fully love God?
Jesus is asked to give the “first commandment of all” (Mark 12:28). He quotes from Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and gives the Shema (literally “hear”). The Lord says, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength’” (Mark 12:29-30).Then Jesus adds, “And the second, like it, is this: ‘You Shall love your neighbor as yourself’” (Mark 12:31). The adjective “like” means one and the same. In essence, to demonstrate that you love the invisible God completely you must equally love your visible neighbor.
Employment Point: Love your neighbor as yourself to demonstrate that you love God.
