He that hath my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me. God doesn't hide his feelings when it comes to how he wants to be loved. His words came down to teach us how to so that we can have a relationship with him.
Love God doesn't mean: worship your idea of God. Love God means: put Love above all else in all you say and do, since God is Love. If you do this, you will be happy and you will fulfill all of the commandments. That is why this is the first and greatest of all commandments. Our relationship with God is the primary relationship. If we are in right relationship with God, then we will be in right relationship with all of life. Love is the first and greatest commandment. Honor Love above all else.
When Jesus stated: "Love your neighbor as yourself" - he meant that you should have equal concern for the comfort of your neighbor as you have for your own. It also means that whatever you wish on to other people you would be happy to have wished on yourself in like manner. It means that you must think the thoughts about others which you would be happy for them to think about you! It means that your entire consciousness should be directed at caring, concern for others, no matter what they may be doing hurtful against yourself. All human beings are living in a jungle of human desires, goals, frailties, disappointments, angers and frustrations. Out of this war-torn consciousness come many weak and ill-judged responses and actions. Therefore, behold the frailty, forgive the unkindness and let it go back into the nothingness out of which it came. The only TRUTH and REALITY in life is LOVE - pure UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Hold fast to this realization at all times.
Good but you forgot to include the part where it says to love your neighbor as you love yourself. When dealing with this passage we must deal with the entirety of it and not just pieces of it.
Personally I think commands to love were calls to national allegiance where love was a metaphor for loyalty. Loyalty or allegiance was to the commonwealth and covenants of Ancient Israel, a nation under covenant treaty. Commands (or any instruction for that matter, even those of Jesus to his disciples) were intended to elicit a loyalty that is from the heart--out of love. Love cannot be demanded, but it certainly can be appealed to. 🙂
"Thus says The Lord: Because My servants are slow to discern and yet resist My will, seeking rather their own way, choosing always to fulfill their own wants and desires, I shall speak once again. Beloved ones, how is it that each of you yet resist the other, and this on account of your own selfishness? The hour is late, the sun is setting below the horizon, and still I see no union. I see no sincere compassion; only pretense is brought forth, a vain attempt to hide from others that which remains lacking within yourselves. Beloved ones, stop lying to yourselves! When you come before Me, bring no pretense, nor make empty supplications while your hearts remain far removed. For I am He who sees, your Redeemer who knows. Rather make honesty your companion, and integrity your close friend, as it is written.[1] Beloved, call upon Me in sincerity and in truth, with a heart willing to do whatsoever I ask of you, eager to go wheresoever I send you. For again, I tell you, whatsoever you do for another you have done for Me. And when you forsake even the least of these, My beloved, you have forsaken Me.[2] Therefore, love is the chief matter; love is your reason for being, even as I am. Or have you so quickly forgotten this wisdom given to My servant, Sha’ul (also known as Paul)?... “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, yet am void of love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and many mysteries have been uncovered before my eyes, having received great knowledge, and though I receive the fullness of trust by which even mountains are removed, yet am void of love, I am nothing. And though I give away my goods to feed the poor, even everything I own, and though I willingly give up my body to the fiery furnace, yet am void of love, I have accomplished nothing. For love is long-suffering and tender-hearted. Love does not envy. Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, but remains humble. Love does not behave rudely, does not seek its own way, is not easily provoked, but forgives and keeps no record of past wrongs. Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices always in the truth. Love bears up and holds fast to that which is good; always hopes, always trusts, and is willing to endure all things. Love never fails. Yet prophecies will cease and tongues will grow silent; the knowledge of men will vanish away. For now we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when The Perfect comes then that which is in part will be no longer. For when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child and I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I am known.” For three things abide, and are most needful: Trust, hope and love... Yet the greatest of these is love[3]... Says The Lord YahuShua." ~ "My sons, treat those of My body as you wish to be treated. Consider not what tomorrow may bring, nor dwell on that which has passed; embrace them as they are in this moment. For the one who stands in front of you is the person they are today. For who they were yesterday has passed away, and the person they will become tomorrow is not yet revealed. For you know not what tomorrow brings, nor do you truly know that which has passed. You know neither the heart or the mind, nor are you able to search the thoughts or look upon the innermost intentions. Therefore, treat all My beloved as you would treat Me. Embrace your brothers and sisters in Messiah as you would embrace Me, walking with Me as I am and not as you would have Me be. For it is written: According to the judgment with which You judge shall you be judged, And with the measure you use Shall it be measured back to you... Yet the servant who walks with Me Moment by moment, treating their Brother or sister as they wish to be treated, Shall walk free, unhindered... Their every reasonable service becoming a labor of love... Says The Lord." trumpetcallofgod.com
I noticed that you did not define "neighbor" as "all human beings." Or perhaps 'neighbor means white, native-born, cis-gender, heterosexual, and non-liberal Christian?
Catholic is Wolf and sheep clothing man-made religion it's the definition of religion it's a work-based salvation they don't believe in Jesus Christ they pray to a dead woman... They're all mixed up if you want to make it to heaven you must believe in Jesus Christ's death burial and Resurrection
liar mark 12:29 Then one of the scribes came near and heard the Sadducees[s] arguing with one another. He saw how well Jesus[t] answered them, so he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of them all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord[u] our God is one Lord
Love God, keep commandments 1 - 4 including the required 7th day Sabbath that has been since creation and will be kept in eternity. Sad how he skips the 4th law, Satans greatest deception is humans breaking His 4th commandment. Isaiah 66:22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord, “So shall your descendants and your name remain. Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

Great teaching very easy to understand!
Thanks for sharing in an incredible way😊
He that hath my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me.
