The Greatest Commandment

Mt 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “
‘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.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

The Great Commission

Mt 28:18
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been
given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of
the age.”

Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Mt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me,
‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father
who is in heaven. Mt 7:22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many
miracles?’ Mt 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you
evildoers!’
