Yes, but especially:In John 13:34 Jesus taught, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
I'm not sure the quote from me was understood. The foremost command, according to Jesus, is "Hear, O Israel,"
The result of hearing with the Lord our God with our spiritual ears, is that you will then Love the Lord your God who you are then taking time to listen to. And second that happens is that you will start loving you neighbor as yourself, simply because you are listening to Him and He loves your neighbor as He loves you.
Now this brings us to the verse above with the command, 'Love one another, As I have loved you, so you must love one another'
Ok, how did Jesus love us? We must ask that question if we are going to love other "as He loved us!
Jesus explained that He did and said only what the Father told Him. So He was loving us as He heard the Father tell Him!!
You gotta get this. Jesus didn't go around loving others as He though He should, He went around listening to the Father and doing what the Father told Him, and in that way He loved us!!
Thus is we don't keep the foremost command to "Hear" then we are NOT LOVING OTHERS AS HE LOVED US!
That is why "Hear, O Israel" is the foremost command. It is the command they were supposed to put on the door post!
Deut 6:4-9 "Hear, O Israel" The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and will your soul and with all your might. These words which I am commanding you today shall be on your heart.... You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.
Again, if we look close, the one real command to all the above is "Hear, O Israel", the rest are conclusion like in "you shall", or you will love the Lord if you hear Him, and you will write them on the door posts of you house, at least spiritually speaking, because it is the hearing Him that takes you into that spiritual house where you find the Lord your God.
Now if our Theology, or understanding of God, is something other than that of Jesus's Theology, and He didn't consider knowing the depths of God to be obtainable, then we are not going to seek the Lord our God and listen to His words to us, simply because we are still thinking we know better than God. We are not going to make it about hearing God, but about us knowing what to do. Then we are not going to love God, and indeed are not loving God with all our soul and might. And then how are we going to love our neighbor like ourselves? We are not, no matter what you think, because you are always going to see a situation from only your point of view, because you are not listening to God to get His point of view.
So I see Christians say, "Love your neighbor as your self" but they fail to realize they are in no position to do that, only God is in a position to love both you and then in the same way. So you must listen to Him in order to love your neighbor as yourself.
