Christians “get it wrong” when we defend any valued “truth” in ways that keep us from loving God fully and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus said “getting it right” means acting on the reality that any other truth or orthodoxy has value only as it leads us to more fully love God and all our neighbors. Jesus says that all the Bible teaches, all the truths we know about what God wants, “hang” or “depend” on the two commands he quoted.
- What do you believe makes these two commands so essential? Can you recall a time when a belief you held led you to be unloving, even without realizing it?
- How well can you love your neighbor as yourself if you don’t have healthy ways of loving and caring for yourself? How well have you learned to nurture and value yourself? (If you struggle with this, Mindy Caliguire’s book Soul Care may be helpful.)
