Loving God

Q: I've been thinking bout it, even read a couple of bits of the Bible. I think I love this guy we call God already! But how do I show that I do love him?

A: We show our love for God by keeping his commandments, because Jesus said: ‘If you love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15).

Q: How many Commandments are there?

A: There are ten Commandments but they are summed up by the two Great Commandments taught by Christ.

Q: What are the two great commandments?

A: Jesus said the greatest and the first commandment is:

‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with your entire mind’.

And the second is like it:

‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’.

Q: Do we have an obligation to obey the Ten Commandments?

A: Everyone, always and everywhere, is obliged to obey the Ten Commandments because they are unchangeable and express our fundamental duty towards God and towards our neighbour.
