Take a full minute to think about this. Every moral tenet you can think of is covered by what Jesus said here. "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Matthew 22:35-40
Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

  1. The Christian logic of peace and love: The Trinity tripod relationship: Man-God (finding way), God-Man (getting truth), and Man-Man (living the life)! Welcoming God into our conscience comes first and foremost. God's wisdom in our judgements follows. Combined, flows out justice, never turning our back upon life.

    "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart!" becomes the most difficult. The rest, a divine disposition, just flows out. @larrygrowe
