Commentary and explanation. The apostles were faithful messengers of this teaching of Jesus, and they set the commandment of love where Jesus had put it, that is, over everything after the love of God. In other words, I am debtor of love to all my brothers and sisters. When you do, you have fulfilled the law. All Christian conduct should be manifested by love.
Christian commandments are commands of love.
Love is in everything that we can call a Christian obligation. By the same token, there are many things that we may think do not oblige us, and they are, in fact, Christian commandments because they are demands of love. If we think that we have a saving faith, let us remember that the proof of true faith is love. If you really believe, you must love everybody as yourself. Go to the Steps directory.
