You don't know how to love God and your neighbor unless you look to the law to define it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Surely part of loving in this way is trying to understand what another person wants us to understand. I may not understand perfectly and I may not agree, but if I love you I should try to know what it is you wish I could know.
The Bible calls us to love our neighbors, and to do justice and love kindness, not to indiscriminately kill one another.
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.
Then, certainly, to be a Christian is to love God above all, and our neighbour as ourselves.
If I try to understand what it means to be a Christian, I look at the two instructions that were given in the Bible that are paramount, and those are to love God with all your heart and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. That's it.
God is love, and His law is love. Its two great principles are love to God and love to man.
When we imply that our works are for God and not our neighbor, we perpetuate the idea that God's love for us is dependent on what we do instead of on what Christ has done.
I thought I knew there was a God. I always acknowledged that, but at the same time, I didn't live by those laws.
It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor.
To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality.
