"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" (Matthew 22:36 NIV). Jesus replied, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:37-40 NIV).

∙ 13y agoThat despite all our sin (disobedience toward God), there is a path, a way where you can be made right in front of the perfection that is God.
By entering into a relationship with Jesus, ie accepting him, by what he said, and how he teaches us to live, that is where we can be relieved of our past sin. He said "I am the way, I am the truth, and I am the life, no one can come to the father except through me"
Since Jesus *IS* God, what he is saying there, is follow the things I say, follow the truth I give, and live like me and you will have everlasting life in the kingdom of God.

∙ 10y agoBefore Jesus was even born, Mary was told that her son would be 'KING' of God's kingdom(Luke 1:31-33). In keeping with this fact, Jesus himself declared his message at Luke 4:43 "...I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."(NIV) And he taught his disciples to do the same (Matthew 24:14/Luke 6:40/1 Peter 2:21/Matthew 28:19+20). The coming of Messiah was prophesied from the time of mankind's sin(Genesis 3:15/Isaiah 61:1+2/Isaiah 35:5), and was fulfilled in Jesus(Luke 4:16-21/Matthew 11:5/1Timothy2:6/John 4:23-26)who would one day become King in Heaven(Genesis 49:10/1 Corinthians 15:20+25). His primary work involved Teaching the truth about God(John 8:26+40), Setting an example for people on how to be peaceable and live acceptably under God's rulership(1 Peter 2:21-23/Matthew 16:24/John 13:15/John 15:14) and Giving his perfect life as a 'ransom' for sinful mankind(Matthew 20:28/Isaiah 53:11), in fulfillment of prophecy from the Hebrew scriptures(Matthew 5:17/John 14:29/Galatians 3:23-26/Romans 13:10). Teaching this truth continues to be a Christian responsibility today(Matthew 6:33/Luke 9:61+62), since belief in, and obedience to, Jesus, as God's Messiah, is the only way to gain everlasting life in that kingdom(John 17:3/John 3:16).

∙ 6y agoJesus said: "To other cities I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth." (Luke 4:43) Jesus make God's Kingdom the main theme of his ministry because he knew that he himself as King of that Kingdom, along with his resurrected spirit-begotten brothers, would deal with the root causes of mankind's woes-sin and the Devil. (Rom. 5:12; Rev. 20:10) Hence, he commanded his followers to proclaim that Kingdom until the end of the present system of things. (Matt. 24:14)

What role did Jesus and Paul play in the early history of Christianity?
Apart from their obvious roles as Messiah and Apostle, scholars have long debated the apparent mismatch between the teachings of Jesus and Paul. One normal way of stating it is that Jesus preached about God but Paul preached about Jesus. Or, Jesus announced the kingdom of God and Paul announced the Messiahship of Jesus. Also, Jesus called people to a simple gospel of repentance, belief, and the practice of the Sermon on the Mount while Paul developed a complex theology of justification by faith, something Jesus never mentioned. Some say that Jesus preached a wonderful universal message and that Paul scrunched it back into the small distorting framework of his Jewish, rabbinic mind. Others say that Jesus preached a pure Jewish message and that Paul falsified it by turning it into a Greek, philosophical and even anti-Jewish construct. In defense of Paul here, he thought of it this way: Jesus was the Composer and he was the conductor or Jesus was the Architect and he was the builder. Paul was explicitly honouring Jesus by not saying and doing the same things but by pointing people back to Jesus' own unique achievement.
