033: Love your neighbor | Matthew 22:39

How can we effectively love our neighbor?

Today’s One Verse is like “part 2” of yesterday’s verse. In this story, Jesus is being tested by one of the “experts” of the law. Of course, this is perfect because Jesus, well, wrote the law! And while Jesus normally answered one question with another question, this time He had no problem putting this guy in his place. But through this interaction, we are able to discover the 1st and 2nd greatest commandments. So, if we can figure out these two, everything will pretty much fall into place. Right! If we learn how to love God and love people, we would be well on our way to living a pretty amazing Christian life. The problem is: how do we actually love our neighbor?

One Verse is a short, daily devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
