Scriptures Weekly 45 - Fruit of Love

This week’s scripture is being shared about loving your neighbor as yourself. A long standing moral teaching introduced by Jesus, and just the right thing to do though often not understood or accepted. One may ask, “Who is my neighbor?” A thought comes to mind in response. Does love have any limitation? What about God's love. Does it have a sense of preference before He extends it to us His creation?

Mark 12:31,

"And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

1 Corinthians 13:8-10,

"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."
