Shalom Everyone, there are those who think that Yeshua ONLY commanded 2 NT commands: Love Father, and love neighbor. Is this understanding of what Yeshua commanded correct? Let's allow the Scriptures to determine if this is the Truth.
First, one must consider, or look at the commands to Love Father and love neighbor. Yeshua was asked WHICH is the GREATEST command IN THE LAW OF MOSES. His response was to quote the command out of the Law of Moses about loving Elohim with all your heart, soul, and might (Deu 6:5), and then He adds the 2nd GREATEST command to love your neighbor as yourself (Lev 19:18). But the question is, were THESE the ONLY 2 commands He wanted us to do, or were THESE just the 2 GREATEST commands from the Law of Moses?
Can the Scriptures speak? Let's look at some of the commands/words of Yeshua:
Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Mat 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is Elohim's throne:
Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Mat 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mat 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
Mat 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mat 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Luk 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Joh 13:14-15 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. (15) For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Joh 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, Elohim: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Joh 14:23-24 Yeshau answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (24) He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
There are many more sayings or words that Yeshua has commanded us to do, more than just the 2 GREATEST Commands from the Law of Moses. Please KEEP and do ALL what YESHUA Commands. ImAHebrew
