Mar 12:31 “The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Social responsibility becomes an aspect not of Christian mission only, but also of Christian conversion. It’s impossible to be converted to God without being converted to our neighbor. We may choose not to, but we’ve been commanded, thus responsible to it. These commandments are from the O.T. (Deut 6:5; Lev 19:18). Loving God, and our neighbor as ourself are the greatest of commandments. Conversion does not make us perfect, but it does catapult us into a full responsibility of discipleship that affects - and infects - every sphere of our living. God loves and cares for His creation and has the right to expect this loving care be replicated from soul to soul. Love glorifies God; God is love!
What a wonderful world we would see if Christians practiced Christianity… HSAY
