No matter how many times we read the Scriptures it always comes down to two commands, we must love God above anything or anyone and love others as much as we love ourselves. If we love God and others we will not do anything that places them in jeopardy or that does not provide what they cannot provide for themselves. If we do this we will fulfill all the commandments of God. God is love and without love we have nothing.
The proof of our commitment to God is that we personally reject evil and embrace a life patterned after that which is good. The lifestyle that we exhibit is a direct reflection of the extent to which we have seen God. If we were to see God perfectly, we would never sin. Our sin is a result of a faulty vision of God. Therefore, the Scriptures encourage us to look at Christ, for the day when we see Him perfectly will be the day that we will be like Him.
3 John 1:11
11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.
