Dive, and Treasures found

I found these scriptures from my dive with the topic Commandments Of God:

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
Eccles.12:13

"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Matthew 22:38

"For this is the love of God," says John, "that we keep his commandments"
2 John 1:6

"And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you."
Mosiah 2:22

Jesus Christ knew the law of loving your neighbor, and defined that law even further by saying to his disciples to lay down their lives for each other.  A new mindset was introduced. We should give of ourselves to God and to others with the same fighting spirit, purpose, and zeal. We also learn how he taught, using first and second sequencing. It is easy to learn this way. This same pattern is found in Nephite writings, see Mosiah chapter 2:22-24.
