Fulfilling God's command!
Text that we can consider as the heart of Christian doctrine is this verse, which speaks about love. The apostle Paul reminds us that beyond all rules or traditions there is something key that goes much further and consists of loving others as we love ourselves. Are we really loving ourselves?
When we talk about loving our neighbor we are not talking about a simple temporary feeling, we are talking about action and this implies having compassion for other people, helping those who are in need, forgiving. When we begin to live under this principle we are reflecting the same character of the Lord Jesus Christ and we are fulfilling at the same time the purpose that is the law of God.
Because all the law is fulfilled in this one word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Galatians 5:14
