Jesus distills the entire Law and the Prophets into two commandments that are, in reality, one unified love: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, AND love your neighbor as yourself.
God promises: "You shall be my people, and I will be your God." And, God declares that He will prove His holiness to the nations through his people. Not through grand miracles or divine displays, but through the lives of ordinary believers like you and me.
Think of all your prayers, devotions, fasting, and spiritual practices. Then hear what God really requires: "Only to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God."
