Won't You Be My Neighbor?: Love Your Neighbor

Jesus revealed that the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, but He immediately added a second commandment that is equally important: love your neighbor as yourself. These two commands cannot be separated because loving your neighbor is part of loving God. True love for others is inconvenient, selfless, and extends beyond your comfort zone to include everyone you encounter. When Jesus says to love your neighbor as yourself, He means extending the same care and commitment you would show family members to all people, including strangers and even enemies. Your love for God must be displayed through practical acts of love toward others.
