Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1
Notwithstanding that the Jews don't regard Jesus and God being one, I don't understand how God's so called "Chosen People", cannot understand that the heart of the law is love.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36
I don't know how to love on command, and I'm not sure any human being is wired that way. Love isn't ordered, commanded or demanded from an outside source. It has to arise naturally, from within, voluntarily.
Imagine someone ordering you, "Love me! LOVE ME!" Would that make you love them? Or slowly back away?
