You Shall Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
Mark 12:29-31
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

While it is our desire to follow and obey God, His law is tough to conform with as we are all sinners. But remember that our God is a God of love. In Mark 12: 28 - 34, Jesus showed us that God does not want to condemn us if failed. Jesus was asked directly to say what the most important commandment was. His answer came in two parts: Love God more than anything else; love your neighbor as yourself. On another occasion, Jesus was asked what was needed to obtain eternal life. His answer here is the very same thing: Love God more than anything else; love your neighbor as yourself. LUKE 10:25-28
Then, following up, the lawyer asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus responded by giving the parable of the Good Samaritan, which shows that everyone is your neighbor. The Samaritans and the Jews did not like each other very much. They lived apart and did not consider themselves to be neighbors. So by using this parable as His example, Jesus teaches us that everyone is our neighbor. Therefore, "Love your neighbor as yourself" means "Love all people as yourself," since everyone is our neighbor. Nobody is excluded.
And what is the best way to express our love for God? Is it by worshiping Him continuously? Or by praying constantly? Or by acts of fasting and self-sacrifice? Or by following every rule He ever set forth in the Bible, every Commandment?
NO! The best way to express our love for God is by loving other people. This is what He really wants from us. This is what He means when he says, "I desire mercy, and not sacrifice." (Matthew 9:13, 12:7) The Bible says that God accepts our love for others as if it were love for Himself. This is shown in the Parable Of The Sheep And The Goats, below, where God says, "As you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me."
And how do we demonstrate our love for others? How do we put this love into action? By always treating others as we would like to be treated. This is the Golden Rule, taken from Matthew 7:12.
TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED.
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12
