Matthew 22:34-40
The Greatest Commandment
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
1 John 4:7-21
Perfect LOVE Drives Out Fear
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
Not sinning is very, very difficult thing to do...To be free of sin, one must be completely dedicated to doing and following God's Will, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred sixty five days a year...
Doing and following God's Will all the time is a very, very difficult thing...Jesus said He wants us to love God, have faith in God, and then also to love everyone, each and every neighbor -even our ones that are our enemies...
If anyone ever delighted more than doing God's Will than anyone else, it is Jesus...Jesus is always following God's Word and is always doing God's Will...If any Man ever had Perfect Faith and Perfect LOVE for God and mankind it is Jesus...
Complete faith is always following God's Word and doing His Will...Faith in God as Jesus had was this Perfect Love of God which drove out many, if not all of His fears...Perfect Love drives out fear...And Perfect love puts the world in harmony...Jesus followed God and God's Ways to His death on the cross and this Perfect LOVE that He had for Him...And He ascended to heaven to be with His Father...
