Would you say that to love one another is Gods greatest commandment?

Question

Romans 13:9-10

9The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 10Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Answer 1

Christ summed them up as two. Love God with all your heart, mind, and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.  

Answer 2

Jesus clearly answers that the geatest commandment is love of God and that love of neighbor is the second.

Answer 3

NO - second greatest

Mat 22:35  Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,

Mat 22:36  Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?

Mat 22:37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Mat 22:38  This is the first and great commandment.

Mat 22:39  And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Answer 6

Reigning down judgment upon vile sinners is one of our greatest commandments from God.  

Answer 7

Absolutely!

Answer 8

Yes you answered your own question.

If you loved your neighbor you would not commit those sins.

  Jesus is the fulfillment of the MOSAIC LAW and the 10 commandments, all of which were a teacher leading the Jewish Nation towards Jesus.   Jesus taught that Law of Love as a New command.

  Matthew 22 verse 36 and 37.

Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the (Mosaic) Law?

Jesus answered him,"You must love God Almighty with your whole heart and with your whole soul and your whole mind.

    This is the greatest commandment, and the second is this" You must love your neighbor as yourself.

On these two commandments the whole (Mosaic) Law hangs, and the prophets.

   Also read Romans 13;10 and Galatians 5:14 for cross reference.

Answer 9

Love is not a comandment, it could be argued that it is God's greatest gift, but it is not a comandment.

Answer 10

Yes.

And then we when we really reach the state of "love your friend/neighbour as yourself" then we reach love of God.

Think about it practically, God is only a concept for us at the moment, until we change our own qualities to match His, we are not able to actually sense Him, but we sense the other human beings very much.

So we have to reach bestowal, unselfishness through the love of our fellow human beings, and if we can do that, then we reach the Creator who will reveal Himself within the connection between the human souls.

Answer 11

According to Jesus loving God is first and then loving each other.  Follow these 2 commands and you follow all of God's commands.  

Answer 12

second greatest.  the first is to love God and the second is to love one another.

Answer 13

love

1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.  

2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.  

Well I think this kind of relationship with my neighbor may be inappropriate at times.  Some people deserve harsher treatment if you want to get a functional reaction out of them.

I think a rule of Forgive Affirmed Spirit comes into play here, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you AS IF YOU WERE THEM".  

In other words, try to find out what they are about so you get the results you need from them.

Not everyone is ready for passionate anything!  Be careful whom you show that to!

As for loving God, God is everywhere and most of our contact with God is from human form and or spiritual form, which some of us recognize.  God in the controlling sense appears to like some attention from some of us and none from others.  Go figure.

But if you tell falsehoods about another person, things may not go well for you at some point in time because of it.  You should be as truthful about the God in each being, the love in each being, the talent in each being......as possible.

Answer 14

You love God first with all your heart and then that will cause you to love one another. God Bless

Answer 15

Love one another...God Bless
