![]() On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets". You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Mt 20:12-17) "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul, and with all your mind. Paul defines this question further: (Romans 13: 8-10) John Smith The question: Does (John 14:34) "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." replace Gods 10 commandments?

Point is the Phrase LOVE discussed in Romans 13 deals with this also. Jesus and John dealt with this THREE TIMES and the last repeat Jesus used PHILIO but he change the meaning by his use to mean the same as AGAPHA. Note that the word LOVE is used in AGAPHA meaning Love period and John used PHILiO. Another means to love someone as your brother because he loves you!

His followers were therefore to not just obey a concept or a command, but to actively imitate the love that they themselves had seen Jesus exhibit during His ministry on earth.Īlso, as Jesus had earlier indicated (Mark 12:28-34), and as subsequently reiterated by Paul (Romans 13:10), love of God and of fellow humans fulfills the Law (including the Ten Commandments). ![]() Army In my opinion, this was a new commandment in the sense that Jesus, by His incarnation, had demonstrated God's love for His followers in a more direct and tangible way than had previously occurred in Israel's history.
