The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 And behold, a certain1 lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, a“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”  
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
27 So he answered and said, “ a‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and b‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”  
28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and ayou will live.”  
29 But he, wanting to ajustify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”  
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among1 thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

Luke 10:26-28

We should love the Lord our God more than anything else. Nothing is to take precedent over God; not our desires, nor our will, nor anything else. God is always first.

We are to love God with all of our soul. That means we are to be ready to give up our life to honor God if it is required. It means we are to endure all types of ridicule and torment if it falls our lot. That is part of loving God.

It is our loving God with all of our strength. Whatever we possess came from God. If we do something to physically serve God or if we have to give our substance as living sacrifice—this is just part of loving God with all of our strength.

In other words, what would Jesus Christ do here? What would He think? We had better think the same way. Casting out wrong thoughts implies that we are studying to have the right thoughts in our minds.

That is a tall order, but that is exactly what God wants from us. He wants us to have Him in our minds this way. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We are to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is pretty self-explanatory.
