The Commandment

“This is my commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.”

“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.  You are My friends if you do what I command you.  No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My father I have made known to you.”

“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give you.” 

“This I command, you that you love one another.”

John 15:12-17

Jesus summed up the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) with one commandment that we love one another. 

Serving God is not about building bigger buildings or amassing great wealth or reciting long chapters of scripture word for word.  Serving God is about how we treat one another. 

And, Jesus said that we are to love one another.
