Love of Our Neighbor Compels Us to Missions

You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18
How about you? Have you trusted Christ as your personal Savior? Based on your salvation by grace through faith do you look forward to a blessed eternity with Him, an eternity of peace and love and joy? Is that something that you love about your own future? How about your neighbor’s future? Do you love his as much as yours? Do you love your neighbor as yourself?
The Books of the Law (Genesis – Deuteronomy) are not just as set of sacrifices and “thou shalt nots”, they are books that call the followers of Christ to a life of action. Here in Leviticus we find the second great commandment, “love thy neighbor as thyself”.  The Jews were to live a life that was so beautifully different than the lost around them that their neighbors were to want to know about God as well. Missions arises from this passage and continues to compel us to reach others with the hope and joy of the Gospel.

Dear Father, Help me to truly love my neighbor by witnessing to him of eternal hope. Amen
