After viewing the video, answer these few questions to evaluate your reformation lens:
- The definition of love can be derived from within the pages of Scripture. When Jesus was questioned about the greatest commandment, He replied, “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself” (Mt. 22:37-39). Have you noticed that culture often defines the concept of love based upon other criteria than the scriptures? Can you think of examples where man-defined love might not fit with God-described love?
- Jesus unites the concept of love with the concept of laws. The question presented to Jesus was about the greatest commandment, and the answer Jesus gave was about love. How do you see those two ideas (law and love) being in harmony with one another?
- After Jesus said to love God and to love one’s neighbor, Jesus completed His answer by stating, “On these two commandments hang all the law and all the prophets.” In other words, every law outlined within the scriptures “hangs” or is directly tied to love of God or love for our fellowman. Jesus summarized all biblical law as expressions of love. Does this thought fit with the ideas you have been taught about biblical law? If not, what have you been taught about love and law?
