Gospel Christianity

How do you become a great Christian; someone who excels in faith and has the praise and approval of God? In the book of Matthew we see three "greats": The Great Commandment, The Great Compassion, and The Great Commission. Each one of these greats is an important element in our spiritual growth. And when you combine them all together, they give us the formula for truly great Christianity.

But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked Jesus a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

- Matthew 22:34-40
