In an age where so many teach that just "being good"
and "loving others" is all there is to being Christian or Spiritual,
we remember that we are called to something greater;
Both the Hebrew Scriptures of the Old Testament
and the Christian Writings of the New Testament
point to one thing as the greatest commandment given to us:
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
- Jesus of Nazareth, called the Christ
(Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22: 37-39)
