In marking his covenant with us God gave us the laws to obey, but he also gave us a community in which to obey them. And that is the real difficulty of faith. Someone once defined community as the place where that person you least want to live with lives. When that person moves away, someone just as bad takes their place. Some of us think that we can love Christ, even if we can't stand other Christians, but that is far away from true religion as the Pharisees.
True religion produces love of neighbor.
So, as you consider renewing your covenant with God, it is important to strive to be more faithful in your prayer, work, study, giving, service and personal discipline. Those things will make you a better person and help you love God. But you must also remember there is a second commandment that is equal to the first. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. And God has given you a precious gift to help you keep this commandment.
