It is a commandment from God that we love.
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:11,18
The first commandment God gave Moses was "to love".
God changes our heart to love.
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14
Read what John 15:12-13 says:
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
What does this scripture mean to you? It tells us that we need to love one another as Christ loved us soo much that He layed down His very life for us.
God wants a genuine love to flow through us.
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Romans 12:9
Our love for God should be greater today than when we first walked with Christ. As we walk with Christ we gain more knowledge and understanding about the things of God. If we continue to strive in our love for God the more love we will have for others.
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 1 Thessalonians 3:12
The more we contend in the flesh which is really for our own way the further our walk will be with God. We have to contend more for God's Spirit and by doing this we will be careful in what we gives ourselves to.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 1:21
This is not a physical but spiritual fight but the love of God conquers all.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:12-13
