2. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
4. Introduction
Loving God together with loving your
neighbor form the very core of our
Christian life. Each of us must realize
that these commandments are linked so
tightly that if there is no love for our
neighbor, there is no love for God and
vice versa.
5. 1 John 4:20-21
Jesus said: “If one says, I love God and hates
his neighbor, he is a liar. In fact whoever
doesn’t love his brother whom he sees, can’t
love God whom he doesn’t see. This is the
commandment we have from Him: He who
loves God also loves his brother”.
