2 greatest commandments

The 2 Greatest Commandments of Christianity (in my own words):

1) You gotta WANT GOD, GOD, GOD more than anything, anyone else in your life. Your will to live is the god you worship. We obey because we love God back and not because we are forced or it is the moral thing to do. Obedience is the only sign that we love God. Talk is cheap. Faith without corresponding action is dead.

2) Realize that the worst and the best humans you know are just the same as you. You are no better than anyone. Love and treat everyone the same way you would do to yourself. Yes, as a Christian you are Heaven-bound but remember that your ticket is a gift to you. You cannot boast about it. All the glory goes back to God.

Love your enemies. If you only love those who love you, what good is that? Even sinners do that.

"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

I am preaching to myself... and trying to sleep.
