The Greatest Commands [Paperback]

When asked what he believed was the most important command God ever issued, Jesus replied, The most important command is this. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. The second command is this: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. There are no commands more important than these (Mark 12:29-31 NCV). These two commands form the foundation of Christianity, yet Jesus himself is the only person to ever keep them completely. In The Greatest Commands: Learning to Love like Jesus, author Scott Bayles delves deeply into the life and love of Jesus in an attempt to draw closer to the heart of Christ and discover the true meaning of loving God and loving people. Scott Bayles is a graduate of Freed-Hardeman University and the preaching minister for First Christian Church in Rosiclare, Illinois, where he lives with his wife Ashley and their two children-Yeshua and Sarai. He loves God and loves the people that God has put in his life.
