@christtheking001: The last and basic commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ in His farewell discourse is “love”. And in this speech He connects the commandment and love. If we understand the meaning of love in our Christian life, we do not need another commandment. Therefore, Saint Augustine says, “love God and do whatever you like.” Indeed, some people have misunderstood this saying and have used it as a license to a loose life. But, whoever comprehends “love” cannot but act in Christ Jesus according to His divine judgment. Let us love as Christ loves the sinners so that they may become living icons, a new creation in Christ Jesus. The Apostle Paul says, “he who loves another has fulfilled the law,” (Rom 13:8). He also says, “love is the bond of perfection,” (Col 3:14). The Lord Christ Himself, as He speaks about the commandments to love God and to love our neighbor says, "On “these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets," (”Matt 22:40). Saint John the beloved recognized love as the sinew of the Law. And, as Saint Jerome says, Saint John in his very old age was carried to the public gatherings of the believers and he always said “my children, love one another”. When he was asked why he continued in this manner, he answered, “because this is the Lord’s commandment and keeping it only is enough. #jesus #christian #jesusloves #jesuslovesyou #christiantiktok #christ
