Scripture makes it very clear that all of God's commandments are fulfilled with the one commandment, "Love God with your whole heart and your neighbor as yourself." In the Gocpel of Luke-10, with the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus tells us, "Do this and you shall have eternal life."

So, how do we, as Christians follow this teaching? How do we show love for God and neighbor in our daily lives?

I've found the only way that I can, is to seek the Lord. Start the day off with Him. As soon as our eyes open we can thank Him and praise Him for giving us another day. Showing Him how much we love and appreciate Him. Meditate upon Him and his ways all throughout the day. Read His word as often as we can. Pray without ceasing. Make time for Him all throughout the day.

We should pursue an intimate relationship with God. In order to do that we must talk to Him, learn all we can about Him, listen to Him, and walk with Him daily. Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments. The only way to truly do that is to love the Lord with all our hearts, minds, and soul and put all of our faith in the Lord. Put Him first in all that we do. Walk with Him in the Spirit and submit to Him. If we do this, then all else will follow.

We will love the brethren as ourselves because the Love of God will be spread abroad in our hearts. It is never in and of ourselves. It is God working within us. We can do nothing without Him.

That is why to love God with all our hearts is the first and greatest commandment.

God talking about agape love, it is impossible for human being to produce it

agape love is the fruit of the Holy Spirit, Jesus say in John 15, a branch can not bear fruit of itself
a branch ,
must abide to the tree than the tree produce the fruit ant the duty of the branch is to bear it

the only why to produce the fruit is by abide to Jesus
Jesus guaranty for a branch to bear fruit if a branch abide to Him

in other word, the fruit is a sign of christianity


if a man say he is Christian but do not have love, he is lie

jesus is love

if Jesus in the man heart, that man must have love
if a man say have Jesus in but do not have love, he is lie
