What Christian teachings explain why Christians should help people?

It is primarily found in the two great commandments given to us by Jesus. The first is to love God above all else. The second is to love your neighbor as yourself. The two great commandments are, essentially, a summation of the 10 commandments. The first 3 commandments correspond to the first great commandment and the last 7 commandments correspond to the 2nd great commandment. Please see the following biblical passages for the scriptural evidence of the 2 great commandments: Matthew 22:34-40 Luke 10:25-28 Mark 12:28-34

Why the ten commandments was a covenant with god and the hebrews?

The Ten Commandments were really not given to the Hebrews because they were practiced even at Eden. After the creation, God rested on the seventh-day Sabbath. This Jesus taught when He was on Earth. The great commission is to baptize and make disciples, teaching them to observe all things in which He has taught us. The commandments reveal the character of God, points out or sin, that we may truly know and feel the great need of a Savior.


How are the ten commandments related to Jesus great commandments?

It is related to Jesus' great commandments because these commandments, as we see is also compatible about Jesus' holy participation with the people while he's still in the earth. BUT, according to Him, we have responsibility to do while we are on earth. We need to follow His commandments. Many people say that following God's commandment is really easy, but never. God's commandments can be seen in Exodus 20:2-17. Some knew that our only God is our Father in Heaven, but some not. Those who believe in graven images and bow to them are idol worshipers. It goes by this. When you attend Penitensya, well Lord dont admire you. Because isn't it written in the Bible that your body is THE TEMPLE OF GOD......Just check the verse given so you could find better information. :)

What are the two great commandments and the new commandments in the Catholic Church?

The two great commandments are given by Our Blessed Lord in Matthew 22:37-40: And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." The "new commandment" is given by Our Blessed Lord in John, Chapter 13, verses 34-35: I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
