His Command To Us

What does the Lord require of you but to act justly; love mercy, and walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8).

And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you this day for your own good? (Deuteronomy 10:12-13)

You shall therefore love the Lord your God and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments (Deuteronomy 11:1).

That you may love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live! (Deuteronomy 30:6)

To love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, decrees, laws; then you will live… (Deuteronomy 30:16)

Love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul (Deuteronomy 11:13).

Love the Lord your God, walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him (Deuteronomy 11:22).

Love the Lord your God and … walk always in His ways… (Deuteronomy 19:9)

Take careful heed … to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul (Joshua 22:5).

This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.  Now choose life so you and your children may live and you may love the Lord your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him… (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)

So be very careful to love the Lord your God (Joshua 23:11).

Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap the fruit of unfailing love (Hosea 10:12).

But the world must learn that I love the Father and I do exactly what My Father commands Me (John 14:31).

If you love Me, you will obey what I command (John 14:15).

Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me.  He who loves Me will be loved by My Father.  And I too will love him and show Myself to him (John 14:21).

As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you.  Now remain in My love.  If you obey My commands you will remain in My love, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commands and remain in His love (John 15:9-10).

This I command you: that you love one another (John 15:17).

This is My commandment: that you love one another; just as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this: that one lay down his life for his friends (John 15:12-13).

A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this all men will know you are My disciples if you have love for one another (John 13:34-35).

For this is the message you heard from the beginning: that we should love one another (1 John 3:11).

And this is His command: that we believe in the name of His Son – Jesus Christ – and love one another just as He commanded us (1 John 3:23).

That we love one another.  And this is love: that we walk according to His commandments.  This is the commandment: (Just as you have heard from the beginning) that you should walk in it (2 John 1:5-6).

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.  And everyone who loves the Father loves His child as well.  This is how we know we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands.  This is love for God: to obey His commands; and His commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:1-3).

Let no debt remain outstanding except the continuing debt to love one another.  For he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law.  The commandments… are summed up in this one rule: Love your neighbor as yourself.  Love does no harm to its neighbor.  Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law (Romans 13:8-10).

To love [God] with all your heart, with all your understanding, and with all your strength; and to love your neighbor as yourself – is more important that all burnt offerings and sacrifices (Mark 12:33).

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might (Deuteronomy 6:5).

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.  The second is this; love your neighbor as yourself.  There is no commandment greater than these (Mark 12:30-31).

Love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord (Leviticus 19:18).

The stranger who resides with you… you shall love as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.  I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 19:34).

Also foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to serve Him, to love the name of the Lord and to worship Him… Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer (Isaiah 56:6-7).

If, however, you are fulfilling the Royal Law (according to scripture) – you shall love your neighbor as yourself – you are doing well (James 2:8).

Do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.  For the whole law is fulfilled in one word; in the statement “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. (Galatians 5:13-14)

The goal of this commandment [actually all His commandments] is love, which comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith (1 Timothy 1:5).
