The Three Commandments, Or, Religion Simplified

1) You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.

2) You must love your neighbor as yourself.

3) You must strive to be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

_____________

The Father cannot be approached exept through love. Loving God leads to knowing God – God-consciousness.

Loving your neighbor, that is, the individual human beings around you – not an abstraction like humanity in general – is to serve God.

Striving for perfection is doing the Father’s will — the fount of all morality.

Striving to know God and to do his will leads to spiritual growth and is the path to eternal life.
