How Far We Are From Perfection

The two greatest commandments, as given to us by Jesus, are:  1)  Love God with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength.  2)  Love thy neighbor as thyself.  He then said all other commandments hang off of these two.

No man, not one, can fully meet the requirements of these two great commandments – not in the flesh.  Only through our new nature in Christ can we meet these standards.  Even when we approach meeting them on occasion, we are reminded in the spirit how far we are from perfection in these two basic areas.

I am forever a student of the Word and a disciple of Jesus Christ, finding life applications in Scripture. I write about Christian themes, including bringing others to Christ, the matchless name of Jesus and various spiritual concepts like a penitent heart and overcoming darkness. I focus on Christian teachings, personal faith and reliance on the Holy Spirit. I invite you to read through my daily writings. Think them out for yourself through your study of God's Holy Word. Pray on the meaning of the message. Then let the message come alive in your life.
