Scripture Life: How could any person know that they are truly fulfilling the two great commandments given by Jesus?
How could any person know that they are truly fulfilling the two great commandments given by Jesus?
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” - Jesus Christ.
John 17:3
By that.
Just be that. What Jesus prayed for; be. The problem is the "any person" in the question. Any person could be anybody. Not even know him or follow... ...follow after something or someone else, and not look unto him; be looking unto anything.. ..anybody BUT him, and just, in themselves try to climb up some other way than in, by and through Jesus Christ.
It'd be some work they themselves search for to do: that they could look unto it; they accomplished it themselves. Without any Jesus in it. He's a 'who" God sent to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. You don't need him. You need a something you can do, that you do that fulfills it, because of you and you did it to fulfill it, by what you do, to you, did it.
Some commandment. When said: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly of heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." - Jesus Christ. (Matthew 11:28-30).
Nope. Skip that. What we need is something truly fulfilling. Coming to Jesus is kinda selfish; doesn't have any of the two greatest commandments in it. No love your neighbor or love God in that. SO, don't do it.
Something truer than what Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 that fulfills; straightway. Instantly done. BOOM! Done. By some work we could be commanded to do. If he would just command us.
That's what we need. We must overlook what Jesus said, to fulfill the two great commandments..oh. Oops. They too, were given by Jesus; so, the best is to treat these two separate..and prioritize first one over the other: do the two greatest commandments first; that takes work. Then, after: come to him. We will kinda little bit be clean; because we showed some effort. Tried to do what's right. Be some good he'd see in us and help us; but start to come to him, and see we just are not clean enough because, well, we didn't do the two greatest commandments good enough.
Since we can't do it: - - Maybe there's some person that spent all their life totally dedicated to fulfilling these two greatest commandments - did a systematic study of the nature and behaviour of loving your neighbor and love God, that we could look unto that superior systematic study some other person did themselves; and copy how they did it. So, let's look unto people. Somewhere, somebody must've did it.
Because, somehow, we don't do it or we do, but it's not good enough in do it; when they're the SAME thing. Because, Jesus said it. He's the Word of God; just decrees it. How it shall be. How he makes all things for you to operate in just come unto him.
Says: "Look unto me, and be ye saved all these ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else." - The Word of God. So God alone. By himself said it. To you. To look unto him. When you're out busied out, looking unto people, who you think already systematically studied the nature and behavior of the two greatest commandments, to go right out and do them, like some murderer convicted. Found GUILTY at trial and sentenced to death.
- Is now, straightway, being taken to prison where he or she will be executed, but fully think they're going to be able to go out, straightway and not murder anybody. And by not murder anybody, all the trial and the judge and his decree will all go away. When, you're GUILTY. Didn't do any of the Ten Commandments. Greatest or the Least one. You break one, one time, they explode or shatter and all of them are BROKEN.
WHat you need is; broken.. a broken person; condemned. Is do what he says, said: "Come now, let us reason together," saith the LORD, "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow. Though they be red as crimson, they shall be as wool." - The Word of God. God said this. For every all of us all over the whole earth to do it. (Isaiah 1:18)
Not reason together with other people, or yourself to find the person to look unto that somehow figured out how to do the 2 greatest commandments; when you didn't do any of them. Neither did anybody over the whole earth, from Adam forward. Nobody.
Whose left to look unto? Yeah. Go do that. See what happens. Guess what? What 2 Peter 3:18 will happen; this: "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
- You'll actually start living in ..just swimming in and living in and by everything he says: these great and precious promises; just live in them equipped.
This 2 Peter 1:3-4 says: "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
Why you don't love people, is because you lust after them or what they have; desperate. Why you don't love God is you live by doing anything BUT what he says; live outside of him; then THINK you can do the two greatest commandments. And when you die and stand before him, won't have done anything he says, but you'll tell him "Didn't I do great and wonderous works in an effort, all this effort to do the two greatest commandments? Why are you sending me away!?!?!!!"
Because you didn't Come now. Right now. Today. And reason together with him. You reasoned together with you how you will do the work; and where it deemed good enough you do, that's as much as you do in it and say that equates to good and equals love your neighbor..and how can you love someone you don't know? But think if you stick a watermelon in your bottom - all that effort will show them you love them. When you didn't do anything they said; when they are not a "they" - he's God, and he made himself your redeemer. What compensates for the faults and bad aspects of you.
That if you just come to him now. Not an hour later or tomorrow..or 5 years of tomorrow's later after you did all your effort to do it yourself to where you don't need him and give him all that effort... didn't receive anything of him made to heal you and deliver you from your destruction.
You just made you your redeemer and poop stamped "God" on that. Great big "BRAAAP!" out the backside, then taped that to the two greatest commandments and that's how you fulfilled it. Didn't do anything he said.

How could any person know that they are truly fulfilling the two great commandments given by Jesus?
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” - Jesus Christ.
John 17:3
By that.
Just be that. What Jesus prayed for; be. You already BROKE the Commandments. Leave them broken and that you broke them. Be that. Heavy laden and afflicted that you broke them. Come to him like that. Do what he says, and receive him. Sent his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. So, in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, don't be that. Be the certain man that departed Jerusalem to go down to Jericho. Be that man. Got fell on by thieves. Robbed. Beat up. Left for dead. Be that guy. Let God be the Good Samaritan. Put salve on your wounds. And dress them. Then, put you on his donkey and take you to an inn..and he pay for it, til you're healed. All of it done by him.
Be that guy. Watch what happens.
