Vocab word: Hermeneutic

Jesus gave us a specific way to interpret Scripture: through the lens of love. When religious leaders asked about the greatest commandment, Jesus revealed that all Scripture hangs on loving God and loving others. This hermeneutic transforms how we read the Bible, moving us away from rigid rule-following or moral cherry-picking toward understanding God's heart for relationship. When we apply the love lens, we see that sin isn't about breaking arbitrary rules but about what damages our connection with God and others. This approach challenges us to ask whether our biblical interpretations build people up or tear them down.
