INTRODUCTION:

A. In Mark 12:30-31 we have a very pivotal command for every Christian, a command that is at the very heart of Christianity.

1. If these verses are not engrained in our daily living then we will never be spiritually what we ought to be

2. It is indeed the pivotal command

B. Mark 12:28-31

C. We know these verses, we have heard them often, and we understand that they mean we are to love God with our total being and our neighbor as our self

1. Many claim to love God

2. Many say they love God

3. Many say they love their neighbor

To set forth three prerequisites that all Christians should understand before beginning to evangelize namely we must 1) Recognize that there are souls that are lost, 2) Be willing to make a lasting commitment and 3) Truly believe that the gospel is the “good news.”

In essence: do you want a summary verse that teaches how we should treat our neighbors, our friends, our enemies, our spouses, our children, our acquaintances in every situation imaginable? Practice the Golden Rule and you’ll seldom go wrong.

Introduction:

1. In our series, when we think of this present age, THE CHRISTIAN AGE, we find something entirely new: An evangelistic thrust taking men and a message to all the world!

2. Such did not exist in the Patriarchal Age. In the age of Moses, the law was for Israel and not for the Gentiles. Evangelism was not a part of the law, except as one man under the law would give encouragement or rebuke to another man also under that same law.

I.   Even Under The Law, We Find A Pointing To The New Testament — And Benefit To All Men.
