Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
The caring LOVE Jesus Christ has for mankind is found in the last Six of the Ten
Commandments. Scripture reveal the awesome and almighty God in heaven above is
LOVE (
I John 4:8, 16
). And because He is LOVE and desiring to enlarge His Family, of
which there is now only God the Father and His beloved Son Jesus Christ, explains why
we as human beings have our existence.
And to one day have Spirit Life, as members of His Family, mankind must learn to love
and practice godly love to his neighbor as defined in many Scriptures while doing no
harm to one another:
Romans 13:10 “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore LOVE is the
fulfillment of the Law.”
The Golden Rule in Holy Scripture
One can only imagine how much better this world would be if mankind were to practice
the following Scripture that is often referred to as the Golden Rule in their daily lives in
all circumstances:
Luke 6:31 “And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them
likewise.”
Jesus Christ makes known how this can be done:
Matthew 22:39 “. . . you shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself.”
How Can One Know?
Scripture provides the answer as to how one can know whether there is caring love for
his or her neighbor:
I John 5:2-3 "By this we know that we LOVE the children of God when we
LOVE God and keep His commandments. “For this is the LOVE of God, that
we keep His commandments.
And the one that is being focused on in this writing is the Ninth Commandment:
Exodus 20:16 “You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor.”
