Their commitment to do such good deeds is in compliance with God’s second most important commandment as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ:

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second most important commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment more important than these two.” (Mark 12:30-31 Good News Bible)
