Each of the Ten Commandments reveals the attitudes and actions that show us how to love God and our neighbor. This is why the apostle John tells us that “whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him” and “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments” ( 1 John 2:5 ; 1 John 5:2 ).The Ten Commandments truly sum up God’s law of love.
