WORDS TO LIVE BY



If you had to pick two, and only two, passages from Scripture to inspire you as to how you ought to live your life, which would they be?

Why two? I thought it would be good to allow an opportunity to choose a passage from the Hebrew Testament and the Christian Testament. However, if your two favorites are from one Testament, that's fine, too.

My two:

Micah 6:8

He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?



Luke 10:27 (or Matthew 22:37)

He answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.’
