Which is the most important commandment in the law?  Loving God is the most important. Second is loving others. Some people consider loving others is more important and do all humanitarian works based on this thought imprinted in their minds.

So what belongs to the government should be given to the government. So pay your taxes. For it is right. Do not try to cheat on that.  If so - where is the seal of God? So that you would know what to give to God?  Eph:1:13. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.  NLT- When you believed in Christ, He identified you as His own, by giving you the Holy Spirit.  Eph:4:30. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  2Cor:1:22. Who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.  John:6:27. Those who belong to Him, have been sealed by God.  The seal of God as evidenced by the presence of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life is the proof that we are His very own, His prized possession.  The nudgings o...
