The Greatest Commandment from God Is To Love

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
– Matt. 22:37-40

“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; “
– 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?”
– Matthew 5: 43-48

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”
– 1 John 3:1

“God does not look on the outward appearance. I believe that He doesn’t care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely…He loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our résumé but because we are His children. He loves every one of us.”
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer — to know that he loves me, that I have been created for greater things.”
– Mother Theresa

“For me, one of the greatest miracles of the Christmas story is the love which it reflects. First is the love which our Father in Heaven has for his children: ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’ There is the love which the Savior has for each of us. ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.’ The love of God has been described as ‘the highest, noblest, strongest kind of love’ ‘and the most joyous to the soul.’ This spirit of love and concern seems to be especially strong during the Christmas season.”
– Bonnie L. Oscarson

“Because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of all and everything we do in our own family, in our Church callings, and in our livelihood. Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk.”
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“Power, no matter how well-intentioned, tends to cause suffering. Love, being vulnerable, absorbs it. In a point of convergence on a hill called Calvary, God renounced the one for the sake of the other.”
– Philip Yancey

“What we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are — and who we will become.”
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
– Martin Luther King Jr.

“Think the best of each other, especially of those you say you love. Assume the good and doubt the bad.”
– Jeffrey R. Holland

“Reverence may be defined as a profound respect mingled with love and awe. Other words that add to our understanding of reverence include gratitude, honor, veneration, and admiration. The root word revere also implies an element of fear. Thus, reverence might be understood to mean an attitude of profound respect and love with a desire to honor and show gratitude, with a fear of breaking faith or offending.”
– M. Russell Ballard

“Do you want capability, safety, and security in dating and romance, in married life and eternity? Be a true disciple of Jesus. Be a genuine, committed, word-and-deed Latter-day Saint. Believe that your faith has everything to do with your romance, because it does. You separate dating from discipleship at your peril. Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, is the only lamp by which you can successfully see the path of love and happiness. How should I love thee? As He does, for that way ‘never faileth.”
– Jeffrey R. Holland

“The grateful man sees so much in the world to be thankful for, and with him the good outweighs the evil. Love overpowers jealousy, and light drives darkness out of his life…Pride destroys our gratitude and sets up selfishness in its place. How much happier we are in the presence of a grateful and loving soul, and how careful we should be to cultivate, through the medium of a prayerful life, a thankful attitude toward God and man!”
– Joseph Fielding Smith

“In the same vein, God’s second commandment, love thy neighbor, clearly leaves no room for racism.”
– Neil A. Maxwell

“The completed beauty of Christ’s life is only the added beauty of little inconspicuous acts of beauty—talking with the woman at the well; showing the young ruler the stealthy ambition laid away in his heart that kept him out of the Kingdom of Heaven; … teaching a little knot of followers how to pray; kindling a fire and broiling fish that his disciples might have a breakfast waiting for them when they came ashore from a night of fishing, cold, tired, and discouraged. All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of [Christ’s] interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed with what is minute.”
– Charles Henry Parkhurst

“The point of the law is love. And while obedience is generally better than disobedience, obedience in itself cannot fulfill the law. Only love can fulfill the law. However, love is a curious end for a law. Normally, the point of a law is to compel obedience, not love. As a result, making love the point of the law introduces a kind of know– a kind of torsion or structural catch 22– into the heart of the law itself because love if compelled, is no longer love. Love that is not freely given is not love. Love, as the end of the law, divides the law against itself. Love hamstrings the law in relation to its own assigned end because the law, working to compel obedience, cannot, in this instance, be fulfilled by way of obedience. It can instead, only be fulfilled by love that the law cannot– and must not– compel. The law must compromise its own integrity in order to achieve its assigned end.”
– Adam S. Miller

“Above all the attributes of godliness and perfection, charity is the one most devoutly to be desired. Charity is more than love, far more; it is everlasting love, perfect love, the pure love of Christ which endureth forever. It is love so centered in righteousness that the possessor has no aim or desire except for the eternal welfare of his own soul and for the souls of those around him.”
– Bruce R. McConkie

“Your Heavenly Father loves you—each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by your talents and abilities. It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there.”
– Thomas S. Monson

“I have decided to stick to love… Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
– Martin Luther King Jr.

“No matter what storm you face, you need to know that God loves you. He has not abandoned you.”
– Franklin Graham.

“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.”
Augustine

“The shape of true love isn’t a diamond. It’s a cross.”
– Alicia Bruxvoort

Quotes about Loving Others with Romantic Love

“One of the grand errors we tend to make when we are young is supposing that a person is a bundle of qualities, and we add up the individual’s good and bad qualities, like a bookkeeper working on debits and credits. If the balance is favorable, we may decide to take the jump (into marriage). … The world is full of unhappy men and women who married because … it seemed to be a good investment. Love, however, is not an investment; it is an adventure. And when marriage turns out to be as dull and comfortable as a sound investment, the disgruntled party soon turns elsewhere. …Ignorant people are always saying, ‘I wonder what he sees in her [or him],’ not realizing that what he [or she] sees in her [or him] (and what no one else can see) is the secret essence of love.”
– Gordon B. Hinkley

“True love is a process. True love requires personal action.”
– Marvin J. Ashton

“Why is lust such a deadly sin? Well, in addition to the completely Spirit-destroying impact it has upon our souls, I think it is a sin because it defiles the highest and holiest relationship God gives us in mortality—the love that a man and a woman have for each other and the desire that couple has to bring children into a family intended to be forever. Someone said once that true love must include the idea of permanence. True love endures. But lust changes as quickly as it can turn a pornographic page or glance at yet another potential object for gratification walking by, male or female. True love we are absolutely giddy about—as I am about Sister Holland; we shout it from the housetops. But lust is characterized by shame and stealth and is almost pathologically clandestine—the later and darker the hour the better, with a double-bolted door just in case. Love makes us instinctively reach out to God and other people. Lust, on the other hand, is anything but godly and celebrates self-indulgence. Love comes with open hands and open heart; lust comes with only an open appetite.”
– Jeffrey R. Holland

“Wanting love is good and wanting to excel is good. The trouble comes from trying to tie them together. Pursue love and pursue excellence – pursue them with abandon. But you will spoil the joy native to each if you spend your life wanting to be loved because you are loved. Love is for its own sake. It works only as a gift, never a reward. It can’t be earned or bartered or not given at all.”
– Adam S. Miller

Inspirational Quotes by Billy Graham

“The whole Bible is a love story. It’s a love story between God and man. God loves you!”
– Billy Graham

“We are looking for a universal solution to our problems, but the cross presents itself in the midst of our dilemma as our only hope. Here we find the justice of God in perfect satisfaction—the mercy of God extended to the sinner, the love of God covering every need, the power of God for every emergency, the glory of God for every occasion. Here is power enough to change the world.”
– Billy Graham

“God’s business now is to mold you into the image of Christ so that you will love like He loves, have peace like He has, joy like He has, gentleness like He has.”
– Billy Graham

“The cross shows the seriousness of our sin—but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God.”
– Billy Graham

“Evil is real—but so is God’s power and love.”
– Billy Graham

“I am convinced that the greatest act of love we can ever perform for people is to tell them about God’s love for them in Christ.”
– Billy Graham

“God’s love is unchangeable; He knows exactly what we are and loves us anyway.”
– Billy Graham

“There is one thing God’s love cannot do. It cannot forgive the unrepentant sinner.”
– Billy Graham

Inspirational Love God Quotes by Rick Warren

“Love pays attention. Love listens to the fears and the doubts of others and treats them with respect. Love accepts others the way Jesus accepts you.”
– Rick Warren

“As a Christian, you can enjoy life because your conscience is clear. You can enjoy life because you are secure within God’s love.”
– Rick Warren

“The only reason you can love God or anybody else is because God first loved you. And he showed that love by sending Jesus Christ to Earth to die for you.”
– Rick Warren

“With his arms outstretched, nailed to the cross, Jesus was saying, “This is how valuable you are to me. I love you this much! I’d rather die than live without you.” You are priceless.”
– Rick Warren

More Love God Quotes

“Where love is the compelling power, there is no sense of strain or conflict or bondage in doing what is right: the man or woman who is compelled by Jesus’ love and empowered by His Spirit does the will of God from the heart.”
– F. F. Bruce

“God is love, and as pure love, He is always inclusive, and I believe that we should be, too.”
– Mary Vasquez

“Love is the very essence of life. It is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yet it is not found only at the end of the rainbow. Love is at the beginning also, and from it springs the beauty that arched across the sky on a stormy day. Love is the security for which children weep, the yearning of youth, the adhesive that binds marriage, and the lubricant that prevents devastating friction in the home; it is the peace of old age, the sunlight of hope shining through death. How rich are those who enjoy it in their associations with family, friends, and neighbors! Love, like faith, is a gift of God. It is also the most enduring and most powerful virtue.”
– Gordon B Hinkley

What is the Trinity?

God is a unity of three identities (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) that are all equal in being God. Each person of the Trinity has different roles: creation, redemption, and sanctification. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity teaches that God is one being with three different “persons” or aspects.

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all considered to be equally God. This is in contrast to many other religions, which typically emphasize one or two gods, or consider them unequal.

God has always existed and loves us so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Jesus came into this world as a baby and lived a perfect life.He then died on the cross for the sins of all people who would follow him during his life or after his death and resurrection.

What is Eternal Life?

In the Bible, God grants eternal life to humans who believe in him. The concept of eternal life is one of the most fundamental and profound ideas in all of human thought. It has captured the imagination of people for millennia and inspired some of the greatest minds in history.

The idea that death is not an inevitable part of life but rather a preventable condition has been a driving force for many great thinkers, scientists and inventors who have sought to conquer death through various means.

The word “immortality” can refer to either an unending life, or an endless life. The latter definition is mostly used in the context of religious beliefs and the length of an eternal afterlife refers to the time that a being lives in heaven or hell.

In human culture, immortality is often used to refer to the unending life and has been a subject of mythology and religion. This word can also refer to a continuous life which is a length of time in excess of the normal lifespan.

Final Thoughts

There is so much to write about our Heavenly Father, God’s love, Christ Jesus. There are thousands of quotes people have gathered over the years about inspirational Jesus quotes and Christian quotes and I hope that I was able to help you find something inspirational by including some of my favorite quotes on this page.

I know that we are the Children of God and he loves us with perfect love, the kind of love that we can never fully understand in this life. God has asked us in the New Testament, John 13:34 to love each other as he has love us. God loves us with a pure love that we somehow should copy.

We are human with multitude of sins. I believe that most of us try to love another, but because we are human we fall short of this perfection. I am no exception. Do I try? Yes, of course. Obviously, God loves us with a divine love we cannot duplicate in this life, but we may be able to do it in the life to come.

In order to be like the Lord Jesus Christ, we need to become like God. We need to be humble like a child and need to develop the goodness of God in us. I know I am a child of God and you are, too. We need to read both the old testament and new testament in order to learn from the prophets of old from the Holy Bible.

Without learning about the Jesus of Nazareth, and fully understanding what he has done and why, we will not be able to become like God.

If we prepare ourselves in this life to meet God, we will not need to be afraid of God’s judgment on Judgement day. I do my best in this life to follow the word of God, even if it is not easy. I pray, and try my best to help people around me with love.

God’s promise to us is that if we keep the commandments, especially the great commandment, we will return to him with our beloved brothers and sisters.

I will keep adding more and more inspirational Jesus Christ quotes to this blog post on a regular basis to make a rounded and complete blog post.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the savior of humanity. He is a significant figure in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem to Mary, a virgin. His birth was prophesied by Isaiah who said that he would be born of a virgin and that his name would be Immanuel meaning “God with us.” Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and began teaching after John had been imprisoned.

Jesus performed many miracles including healing the sick, feeding 5000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish, walking on water, multiplying food for people to eat at banquets, turning water into wine at weddings, calming storms at sea with his voice only once during his ministry on earth, and raising Lazarus from the dead.

Jesus was crucified for his teachings by Romans, died and was buried before three days were completed, rose from the dead after being placed in a tomb with a stone to seal it. In his ascent into heaven, he will meet all those who have already died and they will either be accepted into God’s kingdom or taken straight to hell (see also Second Coming).In other words: Jesus is the son of God who came to earth to save mankind .
