The Commitment to love

AS we look at the people around us, as we look at
society we notice that there are many tribes we can
choose to belong to in modern Australia. Most groups
are exclusive and denote themselves by the clothes
they wear, the music they listen to, the sport they
enjoy, the country they came from or the decade they
grew up in. So for example you have Home boys, you
have skaters, you have computer nerds, you have
punkers, you teeny boppers, you have rugby players,
you have soccer players, you have Italians, you have
Chinese, you have Indian, you have Pakistani, you
have African. Our Australian community is really many
communities, we are a multicultural society. Each
different group has its own denoting symbols,
beliefs, traditions and customs.
As a Christian living in this world what would we look like if we did not choose a secular tribe to belong to? What would it be like if we lived in this world but were not of this world? Christians are free to follow Jesus and live lives of love.
Jesus said,
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. ' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:' Love your neighbour as yourself. 'All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments."(Matthew 22:37-40).
