THE NEW COMMANDMENT

"John 12:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you"

I whole bunch of the Christian community are going contrary to Jesus commandment. 'By their fruits we shall know them' says the bible; it is therefore simple to know in our generation who are children of the devil and those who are children of God. Children of God lives righteously and loves their neighbours while children of the devil are involved in disobedience and hate for their neighbours see 1John 3:10-23.

For you to love your neighbour in totality, you must first avoid "the lust of the fresh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life." all of which are of the world. Remember that you are not of the world but a kingdom citizen; an ambassador on planet earth. You therefore to live your life in the service of your neighbour wherever you find yourself as commanded by Jesus.

To love your neighbour means to:

1. Help him who is in need.

2. Tell him about the kingdom and eternal life in Christ Jesus.

3. Do nothing to harm him 

4. Say nothing that could harm him

5. Do not envy him 

There are three things that abides, "but the greatest of these is love-1 Corinthians 13:13", "for the law is fulfilled in one word: You shall love your neighbour as yourself-Galatians 5:14". Why then do we still hate and kill? Some even kill in the name of God. You cannot claim to love your neighbour and at the same time kill him that you are sent to save.

"Whoever hates his brother is a murderer-1John 3:15" Those that have continued to seek payback and hates their brothers are actually considered murderers. You are therefore admonished to change your ways, obey Jesus commandment to love your neighbours.

You cannot claim to love God when you don't love your neighbour. In fact, the bible calls him a liar that claims to love God and hates his brother. Jesus said "if you love me, you will keep my commandment" Do you love Jesus? Obey His commandment today, show love to your neighbour.
