Do what is right by God to others and you will have life: think good thoughts, wax good words, and do good deeds. Love from your heart and you will have eternal life: for we are to love God with all our being and love others like ourselves.
How do we love God? How do we love others? Here are 10 examples:
𐤀 Love God only.
𐤁 Rest each seventh day.
𐤂 Honor your parents.
𐤃 No murdering.
𐤄 No adultery.
𐤅 No theft.
𐤆 No making false oaths with God's name.
𐤇 No false testimonies against people.
𐤈 No wanting another person's things.
𐤉 No hating people in your heart.
There are no words greater than these:
- Love God with all of your being
- Love your neighbor as you do yourself
Do these and you'll live, for these are more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices, because all the teaching and prophets hang on these two commandments.
— Mark 12.28-34
— Matthew 22.34-40
— Luke 10.25-28
"Don't mention the names of other Gods, it's not heard on your mouth." Exodus 23.13

"Thus said God of hosts, God of Israel: 'Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh. For I didn't speak with your ancestors and command them, when bringing them out of Egypt, regarding matters of burnt offering and sacrifice. But this I commanded them, saying Listen to my voice and I am your God and you are my people, and have walked in all the way that I command you so that it's well for you.'" Jeremiah 7.21-23
"Don't assume I've come to discard the law or prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill; for truly I say to you: until heaven and earth pass away, not one dot or stroke will pass away from the law, until all may come to pass. Therefore, whoever loosens the least of the commandments and teaches so, he will be least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does and teaches them, he will be great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5.17-19
"I say now as much time as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a servant, though being lord of all, but he's under tutors and stewards until the time appointed by the father, so we also... and when the time came, God sent his son, come of a woman, come under law, that he may redeem those under law that we may receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God sent the spirit of his son into your hearts..." Galatians 4.1-6
"Do you not believe that I'm in the Father and the Father is in me? The sayings I speak to you, I do not speak from myself, and the Father abiding within me does the works Himself." John 14.10
"And God says to me, 'Don't say I'm a youth, for to all whom I send you: go. And all that I command you: speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I'm with you to deliver you.'... And God puts forth his hand, strikes against my mouth, and says to me, 'Behold, I have put my words in your mouth..." Jeremiah 1.7-9
"Oh that all God's people were prophets — that God would put his spirit upon them!" Numbers 11.29
We are to turn to God and love God with our entire being and love each other in our hearts and actions as God's people, led by his spirit, the spirit of the prophets; for we are all Children of God.
