    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,993 views

    Within the religions of the world, it is not uncommon to hear that the greatest thing to obtain is faith. Yet, the Great Commandment given by God in the Bible was not to have faith but rather, to love Him

    "You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment." (Matt 22:37-39 NLT) Faith - in and of itself - is useless unless it is energized by God's love. This love command is the foundation of the ...read more

    The scripture reveals the significance of every member within the body of Christ, the church. We all are important to God; and should in like manner be important to one another in Christ.
